In South Africa, it is severely difficult to obtain a gun. Applicants that would like to own a gun need to pass a competency test, a background check, an inspection of their homes and the police need to license the weapon, among other things that factor into the application process. The waiting period is usually longer than two years, and many people are denied arbitrarily. The BGOASA (an association of gun-owners in South Africa) was disappointed to report that about 2% of applicants were successful in obtaining a firearms. In addition, in three years (2006-2009) the police of South Africa reported a loss of 8,286 firearms, many of which were stolen.
Austria has much less strict gun control laws. There are some guns that the government restricts, but for the most part, citizens can get a gun somewhat easily. There are guns that require permission through licensing and some guns that require registration, while there are some guns that do not require registration at all. Most guns can be obtained by any citizen that is 18 years of age or older.
Which country do you think has a lower murder rate?
South Africa, with its very strict gun control laws, has been reported as one of the countries with the highest murder rates in the world, while Austria has been reported as one of the lowest murder rates.
Interesting.
It just goes to show that gun control does not equal less murder.
Founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, is a believer in this concept. Gun control is not going to help us. In the case of South Africa, the criminals that wanted guns stole them from the police. Where does that leave us law abiding citizens if the criminals have the guns and we do not? “Great… the guy that just broke into my house and is holding my wife has a gun. And I have this handy dandy bat that I can swing at him from across the room while he shoots me?”
Our Founding Fathers seemed to have it in their minds that owning a gun for self defense was important enough to list it as the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution. We, as Americans, have a duty to uphold that right by not taking advantage of the situation, and by being SMART and SAFE about it. If we choose to practice our Second Amendment Right to keep and bear arms, we owe it to ourselves, our loved ones and our Founding Fathers to know how to safely handle that firearm. Ignatius Piazza, a Four Weapons Combat Master, can help us be smart and safe about gun ownership by giving us the best gun training money can buy at his gun training school, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute.
Guns can be efficient tools of self defense… if they are handled properly and used correctly. Please do not choose to own a gun just because it is a “right.” As Uncle Ben so famously stated, “With great power comes great responsibility.” If you want to own a gun, please get gun training and learn how to use that gun safely. Come to Front Sight and secure yourself that gun training.

Four Weapons Combat Master, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, founder and director of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, is a firm believer in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. Many people across America have conflicting views on this Amendment. Some love it. Some hate it. Some think it is okay but just not for them. Some are indifferent. Some are afraid of it. Some think it should go away and some think it should stay. I wonder why people want to do away with the Second Amendment. Why would we want to take away such a strong tool of self defense? Why would we want to put ourselves at risk?
Sure, at face value, the Pro Gun Control argument sounds awesome. “Getting rid of guns will reduce crime and keep us safer.” Who doesn’t want to be safer? I know I would love to live in a place with zero crime and not have to worry about walking down the street late at night, clutching my purse against me and looking over my shoulder to make sure I am not being followed. That would be great! But is getting rid of guns really going to get me to that place? If it can, I would really like to see how.
“If guns are outlawed, there won’t be any risk of getting shot, because people will not own them.” Can the owners of this argument please explain to me why I have seen people waste away in front of me due to drugs? I cannot understand how that happened. I also do not understand why parents worry about their children getting wrapped up in drug use. Drugs are illegal. People “shouldn’t” be about to get a hold of them if they are illegal… much like guns, right?
I don’t know about you, but I refuse to be naïve and believe that these gun control advocates have the right idea. Bad guys are going to break the law. If guns are outlawed, why would that stop them from getting a hold of them? All it will do is put us at risk, because our attackers will have guns and we will have something less powerful or effective.
Yes, guns in untrained hands are dangerous. But guns in well trained hands provide a great avenue for self defense and family protection. What we should be focusing on is getting people gun training instead of taking away a means of protection. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute in Pahrump, Nevada, offers the greatest gun training in the world and can be affordable for almost every budget. Ignatius Piazza has worked hard to offer the best quality gun training and to offer it to people of every income level. Lots of gun training is expensive. Front Sight makes it possible for people with normal jobs (like myself) to get better gun training than even the most expensive places out there.
The Second Amendment grants us the right to bear arms… but along with that right comes responsibility. Front Sight will help you make the responsible decision of getting gun training and getting your family trained. Let’s do our part to keep America safe. Let’s get gun training and really know how to use a gun for self defense, instead of just owning one because we can.

There are so many people out there who are apprehensive about gun training. They do not want to own a gun, think that guns should be illegal and/or hate the idea of them in general. However, no matter how anti gun you may be, the fact remains that a gun can be a superior tool of self defense in a number of situations. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute can give you the gun training that you need to stay safe, even if you totally despise weapons.
I hate the idea of robbing a bank. But as much as I hate it and even though robbing a bank is illegal, bank robberies still happen. It is a gross thing to rape someone and I am thoroughly against it. That, too, is illegal. Yet, rapes still occur. Think of all the things that are currently illegal that people still do. Kidnapping, doing drugs, turning on red while ignoring the “No Turn On Red” sign… they all break the law, but we see them happen every day. If guns were illegal, do we really think that bad guys would stop using them? No… the innocent, law abiding citizens would get rid of their guns, leaving them more vulnerable and prone to attack because the bad guys would still have guns. What we need to do is secure ourselves good gun training, so we know how to safely use a gun, instead of just shying away from them in general.
You may not be comfortable with using a gun. But did you know that there is gun training available at Front Sight that will teach you how to not use a gun? This means two things. One, the gun training instructors at Front Sight will teach you the correct way to use a gun, and the wrong way to use it, so there is no question in your mind how to safely handle a gun. They show you what not to do, as well as exactly what to do, so your gun handling techniques can develop into flawless perfection.
The second thing it means is that the gun training instructors at Front Sight actually train you in how to NOT use a gun… meaning how to get out of using a gun and how to avoid using a gun. Founder and director of Front Sight, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, knows that guns offer an incredible sense of self defense, but they are not the only way out of a tricky situation. The gun training courses at Front Sight challenge your mind into deciding when is the right time for you to warn your attacker that you have a gun and will use it, and when is the right time to actually shoot, verses when is the right time to exit the situation in another manner, without presenting your weapon. Ignatius Piazza wants you to know that just because you HAVE a gun, doesn’t mean you have to USE it. It is only there for a last resort, to use in a situation that you cannot escape otherwise. Front Sight will train you heavily on this, because gun safety is their number one priority.

Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is, by far, the best place in the world to receive gun training of any kind. Founder and director, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, planned Front Sight’s gun training program to be diverse, so no matter where you currently stand in regards to your gun training, Front Sight has a course especially for you. Usually, people fit into one of the following categories. Where do you stand?
I am a supporter of the Second Amendment, have trained with guns for years and feel confident in my shooting. I can offer family protection and self defense no matter what the circumstance.
I am pro gun but I have limited to no gun training under my belt. I would like to learn but have not gotten around to seeking out gun training for one reason or another.
I think that people should be able to own guns, but I do not want to, nor do I want to learn how to use one.
I am afraid of handling a gun.
I am anti gun and think that no one should be able to own one.
Whichever statement with which you most closely identify, Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight can be a part of your life. First, to the people who have already had extensive gun training, the gun training at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute can further improve your shooting techniques to make you even better and more competent. People who have had gun training with the military for over twenty years have attended one of Ignatius Piazza’s gun training courses and have improved their shooting abilities. Law enforcement officers and gun training instructors from other schools come to Front Sight to hone their skills and perfect their techniques. No matter how good you are now, Front Sight can make you better. Guaranteed.
If you have little to no gun training, Front Sight is a great place to start. Ignatius Piazza’s gun training instructors will teach you the correct way to safely handle a gun, so you develop a perfect technique from the very beginning. You will learn everything you need to know about guns, from gun safety to accurate and fast shooting. With gun training from Front Sight, you will be ready for anything!
If you are afraid of guns, hate guns or do not want to own one, Ignatius Piazza completely understands that. However, just because you do not want to handle one, doesn’t mean your adversary doesn’t want to. Learning how to use a gun is crucial for self defense, because the bad guys are probably going to have one, whether they are legal or not. Not being competent in gun handling would really be a bummer if someone came after you with a gun. However, with the proper gun training, you will be able to disarm your attacker and use his or her gun as a self defense tool, whether or not you own one yourself. Front Sight’s gun training instructors can teach you self defense techniques that will keep you safe in every situation.
Front Sight has a gun training course for you, no matter who you are or where you stand. Check out Front Sight’s website today and find where you can fit in!

We all know this time of year as Election Time. With all of the elections going on, it brings a lot of things into perspective. What do we want out of a government? Some members of the current government want to change some things that should never be changed. In the words of the United States Constitution, one of the things those members of the government wants to change shall “not be infringed.” How does this work? How can these government officials think it is okay to change our Constitution and take away our Second Amendment? It is not acceptable.
How can we protect our freedom and keep our Second Amendment rights? We need to first be educated about the Second Amendment, what it is, why it was written and why it is important today. Then we need to further educate ourselves by getting gun training. Guns are powerful weapons.

In April of 1996, something happened that would change the world. It would make this a safer place for us to live, and offer clear explanations to one of the great controversies we have dealt with for decades. This controversy is, at present time, our guaranteed right, as stated by the United States Constitution. However, as some people see it their job to rewrite something that has worked for us for centuries, our right to keep and bear arms just might be imposed upon sooner than we thought. I guess the words “shall not be infringed” don’t mean much to certain politicians.
For those of you who believe in your Second Amendment rights, Dr. Ignatius Piazza of Front Sight Firearms Training Institute is working hard to help you keep them, and he is making it easy for you to help him help you. Front Sight Firearms Training Institute has been training law abiding citizens for over fourteen years how to safely and effectively handle a gun to protect themselves and their loved ones. In every lecture at Front Sight, it is made clear why guns are a great tool for self defense. But to help us all keep our Second Amendment rights secure, it is important for us to know the opinions and beliefs of our opponents.
They are going to tell us guns are dangerous. There is no getting around it. Guns in untrained hands ARE dangerous. But a gun in the hands of someone who has had proper gun training can be a great tool of self defense, as proven time and time again. If someone breaks into your house and has a gun, you are going to need to protect yourself. The police are minutes away when your seconds count. Heck, the police aren’t even obligated to come help you! I bet gun control supporters didn’t know that. The court case Warren v. District of Columbia ruled that the police have no obligation to protect individuals. They are only obligated to protect society as a whole. Where is your protection if you can’t protect yourself? At the mercy of your attacker, that’s where it is.
They are going to tell us that gun accidents happen. This is why Ignatius Piazza makes sure to fully train each and every student that enters Front Sight on gun safety. Gun safety is the number one priority at Front Sight and the gun training ALWAYS focuses on it. If someone is properly trained, has their guns locked up in a safe place and has taught their children about what to do if they see a gun, the danger level is, again, significantly reduced. I cannot stress enough that guns in trained hands are an incredible safety tool!
They are going to tell us that crime reduces when gun control increases. Really? So, is outlawing guns going to cause bank robbers, rapists and gang members to hand over their guns to authorities? If they truly believe that this is what will happen, I will greatly lose faith in society. Drugs are illegal. Do people still do them? Stealing is illegal. How many people do you know that steal music on a regular basis? Outlawing guns will only disarm the law abiding citizens. And, it’s a fact that a criminal is more likely to attack an unarmed person than an armed one. Why would a rapist try to rape a gun toting woman?
Gun control does not mean crime control. All it does is put us at danger and infringe upon our freedoms. Ignatius Piazza and Front Sight are making it easy for you to learn more about keeping your Second Amendment rights. Signing up for Ignatius Piazza’s free newsletter and free gun training reports is quick and easy. Forwarding these emails to your friends just takes a few clicks. The more people that are educated on gun training, gun safety and what gun control really is, the more likely we are to be able to retain our Second Amendment rights! Check out Front Sight today! Ignatius Piazza is going to do everything he can to help your mission.

I was approached yesterday at dinner with a disappointing standpoint from someone very close to me. We were talking about the different gun laws in different states, concealed carry law and open carry laws. He said, “You know what is interesting is in places where guns are not allowed, there is less crime.”
My response? “That is absolutely not true. In fact, it has been proven time and time again that places with strict gun control laws actually had crime rise when the laws were put into action. Think about it this way. Criminals and bad guys are going to have a gun, whether it is against the law or not. They are criminals and breaking a gun control law does not really matter to them. But now, instead of having a gun to protect themselves and their families, the law abiding citizens have to fight against these armed bad guys empty handed. Gun control does not lower the crime rate; it just puts the innocent people in more danger.”
Eventually, he said, “Don’t get me wrong. I believe in guns and think that people should be able to own them. I own several guns. But it’s these people that go around using them that don’t actually know HOW to use them properly that make it dangerous for the rest of the country. Guns are dangerous. But they are very useful if you know what you are doing with them.”
I was glad he had that point of view about the importance of gun training. I responded, “I agree completely that people need to get gun training if they want to own guns. But the idea of gun control reducing crime is not accurate. That is more of the issue in the places that want gun control. It’s not gun control that they need. It’s gun training.”
As described in “More Guns, Less Crime (Again) in 2008,” there have been a lot of gun control laws that have been changed or taken away completely in this country. As a result, even though gun control supporters feared the worst, violent crime has been declining and even reached a 35 year low in 2008. The murder rate was even more impressive, and these statistics have been credited to less gun control. It also states that, “States that have the most restrictive gun control laws tend to have the highest ratios of robberies (confrontational violent crimes) to non-confrontational property crimes.” (http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactSheets/Read.aspx?id=206&issue=007 )
Front Sight Firearms Training Institute and founder, Dr. Ignatius Piazza, support the Second Amendment and want to provide us with the chance to get the gun training we need to safely operate a firearm. Ignatius Piazza offers several interesting and exciting gun training courses at Front Sight, each teaching students everything they need to know about gun training. Being the best gun training school in the entire world, one self defense gun training course at Front Sight will make any student way more than a proficient shooter. Ignatius Piazza takes special care to show students how to work toward keeping their Second Amendment rights and how to stay as safe as possible in a time when our rights are at risk of being taken away.
As American citizens, we have the right to keep and bear arms for a reason. Gun control is not the right idea. If we want to limit our safety, sure, limit our guns. But we want more safety. Gun control does not provide safety. Gun training does.

Our Founding Fathers had a dream for us. Before breaking away from the lives they were brought up to know and claiming beautiful independence, they did not have the freedoms that they wanted. Coming to America as adults, they only got to live with these newfound freedoms for a short time. Because of them, as law abiding citizens, we have the opportunity to live with the freedoms we have today for our entire lives, from the day we are born until the day we take our final breath of nourishment. Some government officials attempt to rob us of those freedoms. We will not let them.
I do not use the term “rob” lightly. We need to understand that our freedoms our personal. They are ours. They belong to us and we have to OWN THEM. “Amending” our Constitutional Rights is robbing us of the gift that our Founding Fathers bestowed upon us. Not okay.
Dr. Ignatius Piazza, Founder and Director of the world’s leader in the gun training industry, Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, is a man that surely makes our Founding Fathers smile with pride. Ignatius Piazza is the kind of man that firmly and proudly grips the freedoms that men like George Washington, Alexander Hamilton and Benjamin Franklin fought so hard to obtain. And now, you have the opportunity to join with Ignatius Piazza and make the work of your Founding Fathers remain a worthwhile cause.
One of the rights that we are guaranteed is the right to keep and bear arms, as described in the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America. As citizens who abide by the laws, we are allowed to own a gun to protect ourselves and our families. However, our right is paired up with responsibility. Guns are dangerous if the operator does not know how to properly use them. But with the gun training provided by Ignatius Piazza at Front Sight Firearms Training Institute, guns become incredible safety tools that can save lives and change the world. So, if we choose to stand along Ignatius Piazza and support our Second Amendment right, we need to also do our part and get the gun training we need to ensure our safety and the safety of those people around us.
Luckily, Ignatius Piazza makes getting amazing gun training ridiculously easy and convenient. He offers several different types of gun training courses at Front Sight, and they are organized to be convenient to literally everyone. Gun training courses at Front Sight range from four days down to half day, so no matter how busy your schedule is, you will be able to squeeze some time in to learn how to support your Founding Fathers. Also, Front Sight gun training courses are fun, so it is not like you are taking time out of your day to do chores or something tediously boring. Ignatius Piazza makes his gun training courses exhilarating and practical, so you will actually enjoy your time at Front Sight!
Do you want to honor your Founding Fathers? Ignatius Piazza wants to offer you a way to do it!
