When it comes to advice regarding strategies to avoid violent victimization in the home and in public, every media personality and retired big-city cop seems to be an expert. What always makes me want to reach into the television and grab these “experts” by the ears for a highly animated talking-to is their almost universal penchant for intentionally ignoring the most obvious of all home and personal defense tools—the firearm.
Guns have existed for hundreds of years and saved millions of lives, both from actual death and from the devastating physical and mental consequences associated with being the victim of a violent predator. There is a reason that we require our police and military personnel to carry them. |

"It’s as if they believe these men and women who used to be awkward boys and girls like the rest of us are born with super-human qualities."
No, that isn't it.
It's that they're surrogates acting on government authority.
Rest assured, if the government could replace them with robots, no average human would be allowed to keep and bear arms again. |

| QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
| The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.' The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State. Our opinion is that any law, State or Federal, is repugnant to the Constitution, and void, which contravenes this right. [Nunn vs. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846)] |
