Firearms: Are they Killers or Protectors' FIREARMS: ARE THEY KILLERS OR PROTECTORS' In America our society is faced with the never-ending problem or violence. Our society has become a universal battleground for rapes, robberies, drug trafficking and a variety of firearm-related shootings. We, as Americans and human beings, must take actions to stop these horrific acts. However, the effort by some misguided groups and individuals to eliminate the legal ownership of firearms does not address the real problem at hand and simply disarms the innocent law-abiding citizens who are most in need of a form of self-defense. Jeff Synder says, “In truth, a state that deprives its law-abiding citizens of the means to effectively defend themselves is not civilized but barbarous, becoming an accomplice of murderers, rapists, and thugs and revealing its totalitarian nature by its tacit admission that the disorganized, random havoc created by criminals is far less a threat than are men and women who believe themselves free and independent, and act accordingly.” (9) “Violence is out of control. Guns are a major cause. They all should be banned – the sooner the better.” says David Kopel.
