‘How do we stop mass murder?’
I keep seeing this question on social media after the murders at the Pittsburg Synagogue.
Most of the people asking this question feel strongly about things they don’t understand. They have not studied the issues of physical defense or contemporary mental health. I’m sorry to give them the bad news, but there is no magic button to fix the human condition.
We can not eliminate mass murder, but we can reduce it. |

| I guess that it has been said, that if you feel a touch of Evil it's too late, that's probably true. The demented person that has death and destruction on their minds, will always find a gap in your defenses, providing you even have one. Law Enforcement means well, but they can't be everywhere all of the time. Be ready... Seconds count... |

| By everybody refusing to be murdered, by DOING something about it (hint: CARRY A GUN). |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
