I’ve said before that I am a member of the NRA. I believe in the right to own, and carry, firearms. I applaud the choices of the people in this article.
"Hundreds of Jews" contact gun-training academy after Pittsburgh attack
Let’s say that the police are just five minutes away, hell, cut that in half. Two and a half minutes away when the attack on you, your family, and your friends starts. How many would be left alive by the time the police arrive. The problem with the alternatives to defending yourself is that they do not work.
Paris, 130 died. Some of the strictest gunlaws in the world, and more than a hundred died. You can argue that the laws against guns reduce the number of attacks, but do laws do that?
It is against the law to exceed the speed limit. Yet it happens every hour, of every day, in every state of this nation. It is against the law to do lots of things, and it happens every hour, of every day.
The one thing I can do is prepare for the contingency. We all do prepare for some contingencies. We have first aide kits in case of an accident. We have food and water stored in case of a power outage, or a natural disaster. When Hurricanes approach, lumber yards sell out of plywood, grocery stores are left with bare shelves. People try and prepare at the last minute. Hell even I go out and stock up on cigarettes and whiskey. I might get an extra loaf of bread, but otherwise I’m ready before those days arrive.
Right now, somewhere in this country, a woman is being raped while you read this post. Every two minutes. Every two minutes a woman is raped. We have laws prohibiting that, but it doesn’t prevent a single attack. In the next hour, two people will be murdered. https://ovc.ncjrs.gov/gallery/posters/pdfs/Crime_Clock.pdf
We have three million cops in this nation including Federal, State, County, and Local. They can’t protect you, and the police have no constitutional duty to do so. Justices Rule Police Do Not Have a Constitutional Duty to Protect Someone
So arguing that we should leave our protection, our lives, in the hands of the police is not only insane, it flies in the face of the Law. Because the cops come into play after the crime has happened. They come in after the crime has occurred. They come in after the rape, murder, assault, or whatever.
While it is happening, it is all you. It is you that has the right, and the ability, to protect yourself. You have the right and responsibility by law, and by God, to protect your own family.
What is a gun. It isn’t a magic wand that miracles the bad guys away. It is a tool. It can do nothing on its own. It can not leap up and chase the baddie down. It can not leap up and chase your family down to murder them. It is a tool. Like all tools, it can be used for good, or evil. How you choose to use the tool, is how it will be used. How you choose to use it is the defining factor.
I like the Jews. I’ve studied many religions. I was raised Catholic, my Father was raised Lutheran. I’ve studied Bhuddism. I’ve studied Hinduism. I’ve studied several others that I won’t bother naming. I like most of what I’ve read without reservation. Because all of them generally speaking, talk about being a better person and loving those around you. I won’t get into the exceptions, it doesn’t matter for the purpose of this post.
I believe in the right of every citizen, around the globe, to take up arms to defend themselves. I believe in that pretty much without exception. I encourage it. I encourage the Jews to take up arms to defend themselves. Don’t rely on someone else, it’s your life, and your family, not mine. Counting on me to run in there and save you is the same as praying for Devine intervention to protect you. It might happen, but will it be in time?
