Alcorn, Randy. "So much for gun control." Daily sound 10Nov.2009,

The Article I read was “so much for Gun control”. It told of the Fort Hood, Texas massicure. It explained how such a trajedy could occur. Men on the base are not allowed not have a gun with them. that “ acces to military weapons are carefully restricted and weapons are secured in armories”. However, one man from our military had a gun and murder thirteen people and wound dozens. The article said that the “slaughter would have been less. The gunman would have been confronted by people who could defend themselves rather than by helpless victims.” The article had good points as to why gun control is not helping. It showed how even secure places drugs find there way into jail. This shows that we all need to be on alert to help keep everyone around us safe. Our police force can’t do it alone.

So much for gun control is right. Who would have thought that an attack would happen on one of our bases, and by one of our own people? I never knew that we had our men without guns on base. That our men are risking their life’s, are being unprotected thanks to people who think they have the right not take that feeling of security from us. The article helped me realize that we are to blame for the gun control problem. We as a society have handed our responsibility to defend ourselves to someone else who won’t be every place at once. We aren’t just handing over our guns but worse our life, liberty, and happiness’. If we all just stood up to the one ‘s making the ridiculous rules to take our guns, and our right to defend our self’s. We would be able to feel safe, secure and free. We need to protect our self and others who are too stupid to realize that they need to protect there self’s. Everyone knows the sound of a gun being cocked and loaded it is the sound of protection.
