WHY GRANDPA CARRIES A GUN

An old Grandpa said to his grandson: "Son, there comes a time in every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin."


"I don't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed."


"I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place."


"I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world."


"I don't carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world."


"I don't carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government."


"I don't carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared."


"I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon."

"I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I die and go to Heaven, I want to be a cowboy."


"I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love."


"I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate."

"I don't carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me."


"Police protection is an oxymoron. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess."

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.

China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.

You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson:

With guns, we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew the American People were ARMED TO THE TEETH!

The purpose of fighting is to win - there is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either; the final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.


INALIENABLE FACT OF HISTORY: THOSE WHO HAVE THE GUNS MAKE THE RULES

SALON KITTY

Salon Kitty was a high-class Berlin brothel used by the SD for espionage purposes before and during World War II. Its usual clientele included German dignitaries and foreign diplomats. The owner and madame of Salon Kitty was Kitty Schmidt.

The idea to use Salon Kitty for espionage purposes came from Reinhard Heydrich, but SD chief Walter Schellenberg did most of the work. Instead of infiltrating the brothel, Schellenberg decided to take it over.

Kitty Schmidt had been sending money to British banks with fleeing refugees ever since the Nazis took over. When she eventually decided to leave the country on June 28, 1939, SD agents arrested her at the Dutch border and took her to Gestapo HQ. There Schellenberg made her an offer she could not refuse: either cooperate with the Nazis or be sent to a concentration camp.

The SD closed the brothel for repairs and refurbished it with multiple concealed microphones in every conceivable place. Wires were led to a cellar and from there to a room with five monitoring desks and recording turntables. The idea was to entertain prominent guests with wine and women so they would disclose secrets or talk about their real opinions.

Berlin's vice squad "Sittenpolizei" arrested dozens of Berlin prostitutes and selected 20 potential agents for their use. They were put through seven weeks of rigorous indoctrination and training. Among other things, they were trained to recognize military uniforms, and to glean secrets from innocuous conversation. They were not told about the microphones but had to make a report after every encounter.

In March 1940, Schmidt was told to continue as if nothing had happened - except that now she had a special book of twenty additional girls she should show only to a specific kind of clientele. If a customer would use a phrase "I come from Rothenburg", she was instructed to show him the book and then let him make his decision and call for the girl he had selected. The girls would spend the night with the guest and depart later.


Guests

Salon Kitty became even more popular when selected guests in the military and diplomatic corps were told the "secret codeword" and monitors made thousands of records. One of the customers was Count Galeazzo Ciano, Foreign Minister of Italy, whose forthright opinions about the Führer were not particularly positive. Another one, SS commander Sepp Dietrich, wanted all the 20 girls for an all-night orgy but he dropped no secrets. Additionally, Goebbels had been marked as a client by some. He, apparently, enjoyed the 'lesbian displays' that were otherwise considered anti-social acts outside of that context.

Reinhard Heydrich also made a number of "inspection tours" although the microphones were turned off on those occasions.

However, British agent Roger Wilson, under his cover identity of Romanian press secretary Ljubo Kolchev, noticed when the wires were rerouted to another listening position. He became a regular customer of Salon Kitty, with a regular girl, and later arranged a wiretap to three cables. Now British intelligence heard some of the same conversations SD did. Wilson was later captured and sent to a POW camp.


End of Salon Kitty

As the war progressed, the clientele of Salon Kitty decreased. In July 1942 a bomb demolished the building the brothel was in and Salon Kitty had to move to the ground floor of the same building. Within the year SD abandoned the project and handed Salon back to Schmidt - with the threat that she would keep silent or face retaliation. The 20 girls stayed with her.

Kitty Schmidt did not talk about the matter even after the war. She died in 1954.

In 1976, these events were turned into the highly controversial film Salon Kitty, directed by Tinto Brass and starring Helmut Berger as Walter Schellenberg (re-named Helmut Wallenberg) and Ingrid Thulin as Kitty Schmidt (re-named Kitty Kellermann.)

The concept of the Gestapo maintaining brothels staffed with sex spies to find traitors within the Nazi regime has been recycled numerous times in various European Nazisploitation films, along with other time-weary themes such as concentration camp sex slaves dedicated to service weary Wehrmacht soldiers on leave from the Russian front, and slutty she-bitches of the SS.
