The film “American Sniper,” a tribute to slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, got off to a riveting start this long holiday weekend with earnings north of $100 million. The enormous support shown by Americans is lost on gun control activists like filmmaker Michael Moore, who tweeted his unsolicited opinion of the film [original wording]: “My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren’t heroes. And invaders r worse.” |

Michael, if I'm using a firearm to defend my life, the life of a family member, or the life of my innocent neighbor from thugs who live on the next block instead of 7000 miles away, am I a hero?
You call military snipers cowards because of the manner in which the weapon is used. You've got it all bass-ackwards.
The determinant is the WHY... why is someone using a firearm?
To commit robbery of the elderly or inform? Evil and cowardly.
To protect our military troops from a vantage point where the tactical situation can be observed by eliminating clear threats? Good and courageous.
It is courage indeed to "make the call", because one then has to live with the decision, and good men will accept that burden. |
