She posted an anti-personal liberty comment by an anti-liberty supreme court judge that popped up on my farcebook page shared with my wife. I posted this, and no longer care if I am deemed "offensive". Should they not like my position they can "unfriend" me. Don
The terrible tragedy in California is almost beyond comprehension. My heart goes out to the victims murdered without remorse, and no words can be expected to assuage their pain. I cannot imagine the suffering of the victim's families and friends, and I pray for their comfort.
Something must be done to prevent these horrific happenings from continuing. I and other adults are asking 'Where was any armed citizen response so badly needed when evil was visited upon California?" The world has been filled since the beginning of human occupancy with individuals determined to kill and maim, both individually and wholesale. In California bad people with guns (their motivation is NOT the issue---simply their evil intentions) were once again stopped by good people with guns. This time it was law enforcement, and I thank them for putting themselves in harm's way on behalf of good people.
I can only hope that adults across our nation will begin to step up to the adult challenge of taking responsibility for their own and their loved one's safety and protection. Don't allow idiot hand wringing do-gooders to disarm good people. Despite what so many ill-informed and irrationally thinking people profess, "gun control" laws only keep honest citizens honest.Just as "drug laws" have not squelched drug abuse and drug related crime. Only a childlike, non-analytical mind believes otherwise.
Many law enforcement officials in our nation are actively asking that good and qualified citizens carry weapons to help provide increased safety for themselves. They are acknowledging that the police cannot provide all the protection society needs from murderous criminals. In itself their need to request this of us as a people is frightening. But the profundity of their admonitions cannot be ignored.
If you value life, learn to defend it. Meet evil force with good force. Our courts have determined that our second amendment to the constitution does indeed declare we as individuals have the right to own firearms for our own protection. This shouldn't be debated by reasonable people. Adults must make the adult decision to become proficient in means of self protection. Don't spit in God's eyes by refusing to protect the gifts of loved ones with whom He has blessed us.
Pray for those who suffer, protect the good and the weak, and be willing to place yourself in harm's way too in the process. Pray for our country folks. Stay alert for those who would do harm, be they in groups or lone street thugs.
Don.
