But the sad truth about it is that guns may keep criminals away from you, but they don't really protect you much. When you carry them around wherever you go, criminals don't really fear you because they know how to attack you at the right time they know you are unsuspecting and vulnerable. And even when you have them just right in your pocket where they will be easy for you to grab and aim at any criminal, there's no guarantee that you can grab them first before criminals take aim at you. Unfortunate things happen anytime when you least expect them and when this incident happens, you become a victim of a crime you supposedly prevented from happening and your gun is as useless as a toy gun offering you no defense at all. And suppose you got your gun first before someone does you harm, what would you do then? Would you shoot the guy and kill him? Or would you rather shoot him in some part of his body where you feel it's not fatal or deadly and you can turn him over to the authorities and all he has is just a wound and he can just recover in time? Maybe you would opt for the second one where you won't kill him, and where he could recover some time. But the sad part of this is: When he does recover, do you think he will just keep quiet and not do anything at all to you? Surely, he will come back and look for you wherever it takes him to take vengeance on you and this is no good at all. Criminal oftentimes don't have the guts to better their lives even when they are caught by authorities. They might be imprisoned many times, but every time they get out, they still do the same criminal thing all over again. You will never have a peaceful life and you will be living like a fugitive, thinking that someone is lurking out there to get even with you anytime. And you should never forget that firing a gun is something that will haunt you for as long as you live, and it's a real bothersome burden to your conscience. Only criminals don't have the guilty conscience but private citizens always have. How much more when somebody is hurt or somebody is wounded and worst of all, somebody is killed? You'd rather wish you stole something or rob someone knowing that you can pay for that when time comes, but taking the life of a human being can never be repaid with anything. There's one noticeably stupid thing about this whole matter: Guys may feel more masculine or more powerful than anyone around them when they carry guns, and they feel they are more respected and more esteemed when they have them. Such a silly thing to have. And they become more harsh or more cruel in their dealings with anyone because they rely much on their guns for protection in case of violence or opposition. They even tend to swagger around to let everybody feel their somewhat mighty presence and creating an atmosphere of great power or influence. But the air they have, which is bloated, is only existing in their minds and something that is only imagined and never real. They don't realize that what they have is only some sort of illusions of greatness and no more, no less. A gun is a totally dark and vicious machinery that brings evil to the owner, for it draws and sucks up harm and danger the whole time. It's like a magnet that attracts untoward incidents and unexpected circumstances. It blows up a person's ego and arrogance that would allow him to do anything on his own and careless and unmindful about the safety of people around him. He becomes more violent than usual, and any little argument or disagreement would spark his anger and fury and becomes a big, violent mess in no time. Drinking with him will be very dangerous for when he gets drunk even a little, he will most likely use his guns when things turn bad for him or when he feels irritated. Oftentimes, it makes him as fierce as a lion or like a mother bear robbed of her cubs. And it tempts him right that very moment to use the gun to shoot and harm, or worse, to kill. The real thing about men having guns around is: it makes them look like cowards and weak people. They don't look as strong as someone who relies totally in his bodily strength. A strong man is someone who is healthy and who sports a muscular and fit body. Take his guns away from him and the next thing you know he becomes as weak as a child, and as fearful as a child away from his mother. Without his guns, he looks humble and innocent, and he is able to keep his cool for the longest time possible. If you invite him to a boxing or kickboxing match, he will most likely turn you down for all his courage and strength vanish when guns are not around. Guns should only be used by authorities for crime prevention and control and other things related to their jobs. They should be used to uphold and uplift the law, and never to take the law onto their hands. Owning them requires great responsibility for they can easily take life away with just one click. And with great responsibility, sanity and sobriety must not be far behind. People should always remember that guns can't make anyone supreme or powerful. It only seems so. They are like masks that hide the true nature of the people carrying them, giving the look and impression of greatness or might. The more a private person used them, the weaker he becomes, and he will never have the genuine strength it takes to face anyone or anything.
