Retired congressman Ron Paul says that recent terrorist attacks and school shootings in North America are guaranteed to give lawmakers the ammunition to pursue new gun control legislation. Those events will be relied on by lawmakers intent on restricting gun ownership, Paul predicts, despite evidence he cites to suggest that passing such limits will lead to an increase in violent crime. “As with most infringements on liberty, gun control will not only make us less free, it will make us less safe,” Paul says in the four-minute long message posted to his hotline on Monday. “Respecting the right of the people to keep and bear arms is the original and best homeland security policy. Restricting the right of people to arm themselves leaves them with no effective defense against violent criminals or a tyrannical government.” rt/usa/201911-ron-paul-gun-restrictions/
