You may not like guns, and choose not to own one. That is your right. You might not believe in God. That is your choice. However, if someone breaks into you home the first two things you're going to do are: 1) Call someone with a gun, and 2) Pray they get there in time.
"LAWS THAT FORBID THE CARRYING OF ARMS ...
... DISARM ONLY THOSE WHO ARE NEITHER INCLINED NOR DETERMINED TO COMMIT CRIMES. SUCH LAWS MAKE THINGS WORSE FOR THE ASSAULTED AND BETTER FOR THE ASSAILANTS; THEY SERVE RATHER TO ENCOURAGE THAN PREVENT HOMICIDES, FOR AN UNARMED MAN MAY BE ATTACKED WITH GREATER CONFIDENCE THAN AN ARMED ONE."
Authored by Cesare Beccaria "Essay on Crimes and Punishments", 1764
Quoted by Thomas Jefferson "Legal Commonplace Book", 1767
STOP SCHOOL SHOOTINGS:
Place three armed veterans in every school. There are thousands of well trained unemployed Veterans who would love the job of protecting children.
THE SCHOOL SHOOTING THEY NEVER MENTION:
Pearl High School in Pearl Mississippi, October 1, 1997:
16-year-old student, Luke Woodham, after slitting his mothers throat, showed up at school with a .30-30 rifle and started shooting. Upon hearing the shots, the Principal immediately called 911 seeking help from the Police, as more shots rang out.
Assistant Principal, Joel Myrick, reacted much differently, though. Hearing the shots, he ran to his parked truck and retrieved his own .45 caliber pistol and chased Woodham down, holding him at bay by pointing the loaded weapon right at his face. Woodham stopped his carnage right there.
Assistant Principal Myrick then forced Woodham to the ground and placed his foot on the student shooters neck.
Did the Gun Free Zone stop this nut? Nope.
Did an armed citizen with a .45 pistol? Yep.
Will you ever hear this in the mainstream media? Nope.
"A FREE PEOPLE...
"This year will do down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!" - Adolf Hitler - 1935
Liberals; never met a dictator they didn't love.
- STORMBRINGER SENDS
I don't believe that is a real G. Washington quote. The closest approximation of that quote comes from his first annual address to congress.
ReplyDelete"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies."
Much different meaning.
"Those who would take away your gun have an agenda which includes the possibility that you may have to use that gun to defend yourself against them one day." Vito Carangelo A refugee of Hitler's Germany BC 7-5-36
