In all my years of living On the Ave of Jamaica, Queens and off of Kingsbridge in the Bronx and even on Lyons and Zeraga; my lullabies have been the vibration and sounds of the J, the 6, or even the sirens of NYPD and EMS; whizzing by in the mists of the night. (Squids aren’t all that common in NY)
In suburbia Maryland
According to the U.S Census Bureau, there are 311,600,448 people living in the United States
In 2010, the following estimates of private firearm ownership were found based on surveys conducted.
Households With a Gun | Adults Owning a Gun | Adults Owning a Handgun | |
Percentage | 40-45% | 30-34% | 17-19% |
Number | 47-53 million | 70-80 million | 40-45 million |
Now, I am no mathematician but these numbers don’t really add up. Even if, I were to add all the numbers in the pretty little table; the surveys show 178 million firearms are privately owned. The production data from manufactures are suggesting 300 million firearms have ownership.
IDK, America
There is so much controversy regarding this topic. 67% of owners claim that they own guns for protection, 66% stated target shooting as their reason, and only 41% said hunting is why they need to pack heat. There is also much debate on the relevance of the 2nd Amendment.
As it stands right now, there are controversies regarding the need of the 2nd Amendment. The 2nd amendment was originally implemented to create a society of “Armed Citizens.” After the originals SETTLERS IMMIGRATED to the US to escape their oppressive totalitarian government they felt that there was a need to ensure a free state free state
NO GUNS= BETTER SOCIETY | Sure we could have a NO GUNS society… IF we charge into everyone’s home, use telepathy or clairvoyance to find all hiding places for guns and confiscate each one. Yeah that would be possible… Oh yeah and we have to shut down the black market for illegal gun trafficking. |
As always I stated the issues and upon serious deliberation and investigation… the AP MCghee Solution: the streets need to answer your CALL OF DUTY, MODERN WARFARE BLACK Ops Editions 2012…because as Tupac once said “It's war on the streets and a war in the Middle East”, (Disclaimer: I know you’ll think I am crazy but hear me out first)
PROVIDE TRAINING FOR EVERY CHILD, FEMALE, MALE, ELDER IN THE COUNTRY AND GIVE US ALL GUNS! | According to all the data found, there is about 1:1 ratio on gun ownerships and people living in the GIVE US A FIGHTING CHANCE … “to defend the country against all enemies, both foreign and domestic, so help us God” |
IF WE ALL STRAP UP WE WILL ALL BE SAFE | v DON’T REINVENT THE WHEEL- MIMICK WHAT WORKS Give us the same training given to POLICE AND MILITARY. § Shouts to PGPD, I hear your training is something serious! (and some QT’s on the streets “Wee Ooh Wee Ooh Wee”) v People would think twice before committing a crime. § (How many criminals actually jack up or try to rape a uniformed COP or Military personnel … lets get serious!) v I know there are dumb criminals; so let’s just say someone does try to pull some dumb tihs off and commit a crime. They will be out numbered by all the people who have undergone the training, ie everyone who lives in American soil. |
You see my Dear Watson, it’s all elementary! We have the privilege to drive. There are approximately 230 million vehicles in the USA

Why would we train everyone to react like the police or the military. The whole point of police and military training is to teach them how to be more skilled than the enemy. This scene was played out unfavorably against the Ceres, CA police department when a marine/ gang member opened fire killing one officer and seriously injuring another using a high powered rifle during an ambus. If the bad guys on the streets have an illegal gun then they probably have no desire to want to be safe with it. If the gun is illegal there are probably illegal things going on with that person such as senseless killings of innocent people or because they aren't man enough to see them mono-e-mono in the streets. I think that using a gun to hurt someone is a cowardl move. I'm not saying that cops or the military are cowards because they only have their tools to keep us safe, but people that think that firepower is their only option are ignorant fools. How about we go back to the days where a group of people stand in a circle and the two people fight it out until neither can fight anymore if thing absolutely have to come to that. That's how we need to change the streets
I concur with some of the comments you've made My Dear Watson!
1) When I stated that we should be trained as Police/Marines are trained I was referring to the use of weaponry, self defense, and knowledge of when to assess and deflate a situation. Not necessarily in tactical training; of course we will still need some type of authority enforcing the use/misuse of this theory. It would be silly to have the PD or Military forces hand over a handbook/training manual with all their secrets!
2) Your absolutely right, if criminals want to be criminals they will be criminals and wouldn’t want to be found and will still commit the cowardly crimes to which they have set to do with said weapon. However, in a society per AP MCghee’s theory said criminal would be outnumbered by the 311 million citizens that are armed and equipped to ASSESS AND DEFLATE any situation as Authorities would do and the likely hood of an officer getting hurt would be lessened by the multitude of back up that they have. As opposed to their squad of approximately 10 answering a call an entire neighborhood would be backing them up until the superiorly trained officials arrive. Civilians would no longer be a limping victimized Giselle roaming the concrete jungles of America. We would be trained and equipped to hold down the fort.
3) In a utopian society, we would be able to retract all use of weaponry on domestic and foreign soil. In the “civilized” society that we live in, one would think that we would result to solving situations in a more civil manner… we are taught from a young age that one should walk away when being bullied or just walk away when confronted by an aggressor. However, this is not the case. We currently live in a society where the black market for weapons is more lucrative than our education system (really almost anything is more lucrative than our education system: but that’s for another time.) So why not give us “the civilians” a fighting chance to do exactly what our authorities are trying to achieve? That is, a place to live without fear!
In conclusion, my Dear Watson… I believe in the good in people. Sure there are a few hard rocks out there that have been kicked around and abused, and so do not really know their own potential. Now, when we as a people begin to hold each other accountable for our actions and actually DO SOMETHING about what is going on in our communities….I strongly believe that the pressure we put out collectively would turn those hard rocks into diamonds….
