There are a lot of people out there who say that it would be better if no one had access to a gun. They believe crime would go down, fewer people would be killed each year, and because no one had a gun, everyone would be safe. On the other hand, there are those who feel like they're much safer because they have a weapon. This patch sums up their thoughts. It reads 'Better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it'. There's certainly some truth to that. The Better To Have a Gun And Not Need It Patch is a part of the 2nd Amendment patches on The Cheap Place.
In an ideal world, if guns were outlawed, no one would have them. But since we don't live in this ideal world, that's never going to happen. If someone wants a gun badly enough, they will find a way to get it. They'll go to another country and smuggle it home, or they'll make their own crude gun. Once only those with criminal intent have guns, the balance of power will shift dramatically, and they won't have any reason to be afraid of breaking into your home. If guns were outlawed, how could you protect your family? It's definitely much better to own a gun but not need to use it than to ever need a gun and not have it.
If you're a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, this patch might be perfect for you. It features the text and two guns in white on a black background. The patch measures 4 by 1.5 inches, his die cut borders for sewing, and has heat-activated adhesive on the back so it can be ironed on to any material except leather.
