I just read part of your article on fox news. If history has taught us anything, it is that more weapons create more violence. Many good people don’t really want guns even if they can have them freely, and many bad people will get them regardless. Look at Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Sudan etc. etc... All of these places were provided weapons for protection and they have all come back to bite us or the good people from which the countries they live. Shootings are going to happen, we live in a fallen world, but adding more guns will only help that to happen more frequently and disastrously. I have traveled extensively to 3rd world countries throughout the world and have worked in 5 major inner-cities in the US. I encourage you to go to another country, primarily 3rd world or even go to an inner-city and you will see for yourself the illogic of your logic.

anonymous and anonymous are not looking at the real facts. Criminals will get guns any way they can. Criminals will have guns anywhere in the country. Why would I not want to protect my family and friends and anyother innocent person if I have the ability to do that. The criminals are the people going into "Gun Free" zones and kill law abiding citizens who leave their guns at home. When was the last time you saw a cowardly gunman go into a police station, FBI office, CIA office a gunstore or a shooting range and start killing people? Why, because he wouldn't have the opportunity to do much damage due to the fact that most people in those places would be armed our have access to get weapons very quickly. People who go through the steps to obtain a concealed carry permit are most likely law abiding citizens because they have to go througha background check to obtain a permit. Sure people will slip through but most are law abiding. I dont have my permit yet for AZ, but I am going to get it. Right now we have an "Open Carry" option, meaning we can carry our weapon openly without a permit. How many people in my city or the state who are carrying their weapon legally open fire on innocent people? Check out he stats and see for yourself. More guns in law abiding citizens hands are good for the country. More weapons in the hands of criminals is a bad thing period and always will be. Ask yourself "anonymous" how many of those 30 people a day dying are dying at the hands of law abiding citizens and how many are dying from criminals. Then ask yourself, how many of those 30 people would still be alive if that person or someone in the area had a weapon legally carried to help out? Even if its 1 person. If that 1 person was someone you loved being saved by someone else or them selves because they had the ability to save themselves, I bet you'd be very grateful. By the way, my name is Julian Gonzalez. Im not afraid to let people know what I think. My opinions will never be anonymous!

According to the Veterans' Administration, there are about 470,000 trained, experienced people who have been trusted to judiciously use deadly force if necessary ALREADY ON CAMPUS around America. Failure to use this valuable resource is criminal negligence on the part of our public officials.

Looks like the very, very few JJackson protestors made a minor effort to target JLott's website. This minimal effort is consistent with the diminutive turnout nationwide.
