[QUOTE="caley, post: 435251, member: 4982"] Here is one big reason why violence is getting more prevalent (probably the biggest): "The right of the people, to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Sounds pretty simple doesn't it? Yet this right is infringed upon more and more every day. Here in Newark there is a local businessman, Mr. Cooper, who owns two deli/liquour stores. He is a law abiding man, not looking for any trouble, but since he is living the American dream with a cash business, he is a target for thugs raised on getting something for nothing. But Mr. Cooper is not an easy target. He did the seemingly impossible, and navigated the bureaucratic jungle sufficiently to be allowed to own a registered handgun to protect what he works so hard for-his life and his livelihood. Last year, miscreants tried to rob him. He responded the old fashioned way, with hot lead. No innocent people were hurt, and he protected his own life in a legal manner with a registered firearm.

People have a RIGHT to protect themselves and their property. Government is taking that right away, bit by bit. [/QUOTE]
