An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

As for the Democrat Party’s idea of how to control guns, one only needs to read HR 45, in Congress right how, to see what will happen if they get their way. Thomas Jefferson said “an armed man is a citizen, an unarmed man is a subject”. I will not be a subject.

Anyone out there that doesn’t want a gun in his,or her home is free to not have one. I just hope your neighbor does. Anyone that believes, as the Brady Campaign would have you believe, that confiscation of all guns will lower crime rates is a fool. Do a Google on Australian or British crime rates since they took up all the legal guns, and you will see that the thugs didn’t give up theirs. In England, there is a man in jail right now for shooting 2 intruders into his home, and killing one. Obama sponsored legislation in the Illinois Senate to criminally charge people that shot someone in self defense, in his home, and it fizzled with but one vote, his.

And Rick, if you do decide to buy a gun for protection, you would do well to remember that if it is not within arms reach, it is worthless in a home invasion, or burglary. The need to feel as I do, that I will have a gun in arm’s reach in the house is indeed a sad commentary on the state of our culture. Even sadder is the fact that too many people seem to think that the Federal Government can pass new laws to correct this, when the only solution is to follow the recent advise of Star Parker, and have people return to the core values of personal responsibility, and get back to the basic Christian beliefs that founded this country and made it great.

Charlton Heston said it best, “they will get my guns when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers”. Memo to the thugs, don’t miss, because then it’s my turn.

Is there some power in the “magic wand of freedom” that automatically tells previously enslaved people how to be free? Sure Good Grief (nod-wink-nudge), Pharaoh did everything in his power to retain the services of his slaves, the Children of Israel. God had to send several plagues to break his pernicious desire. And when Pharaoh finally decided to set the Children of Israel free, he suddenly changed his mind and chased them to the Red Sea. That’s when Pharaoh and his army were drowned.

I’m sure that some of the Children of Israel didn’t want to be free. They had been slaves for too long, four hundred years… There is no question that some of the people of God disobeyed Moses and Aaron and went back into Egypt/slavery to integrate with Pharaoh and his people. And I’m sure Pharaoh worked many hours working to make integration look like something other than slavery.

I have absolutely no problem with your second paragraph.

So what? If a man’s breaking into my house, threatening to rob me at knife point or gun point, threatening assault upon my person, I don’t give a flying f*** about any egregious trangressions society may or may not have committed against him. Crime is crime. I will defend my person and my property. Period. Doesn’t matter if my transgressor’s ancestors were slaves, or hopped across a border without telling anybody else, or maybe he did tell someone else. It doesn’t matter. No one has the right to deprive me of my freedom, property or well-being. We can have touchy-feely conversations over a beverage if you wish, but when the conversation’s over, I’m going to make sure my gun is loaded, that the safety is on, and pray as I walk to my car or lock the doors on my house that no one deprives themselves of their like if they first try to deprive me of my life or my property.

Lets see if we can make this painless.

Hope to see you there.

And as long as Negroes as a group have no economy of their own, poverty is a present virus for each and every Negro in America. Whoever is servicing the Negro’s basic needs can activate the virus of poverty on a whim. That’s how so-called wealthy Negroes are controlled.

The fact that you are just now considering owing a weapon would indicate just how UnAmerican you’ve been in the past. Not only is it our constitutional right to own a weapon, it has been explained as a duty by many of our constituional framers in order to maintain our freedoms.

I would suggest you also consider a lifetime membership in the NRA while you are at it.
