Who needs guns? Just call 911

Exclusive: Joseph Farah stresses absurdity of expecting police to protect you

Maybe you’re one of those people who doesn’t think you’ll ever need a gun – or want one.

After all, all one has to do in 21st century America is call 911 when you’re faced with danger, right?

The first time I realized I needed a gun was as a young man living in a nice section of Los Angeles. It was not the kind of neighborhood in which one expected to experience a home invasion. Yet, one night, that’s what I was faced with. It started with a knock on the door – a very solid, wooden door with only a peephole that permitted me to check out the visitor.

I did not recognize the visitor, and asked him politely to identify himself. Instead, he started pounding on the door and demanding to be let in.

Eventually he began to batter the door with rocks and other objects.

So I called 911.

An hour or so later, long after the intruder got tired of battering the door and left of his own accord, the LAPD sent over a female police officer to check it out. An hour later.

That’s when I decided to get my first gun.

My second lesson came shortly thereafter when a Satan-worshipping Hispanic gang, associated with Night Stalker Richard Ramirez, surrounded and trashed my car one night while I was at work in downtown L.A. When I entered the parking lot through a dark alley, the gang members were whooping it up around bonfires, the air thick with marijuana smoke and the asphalt covered with broken liquor and beer bottles.

When seconds count the police are only minutes away.

Forget 911.

Call 1911.

The reasons Citizens should be carrying guns are the same reasons Police Officers do carry guns.

And then on top of that add the reasons of guarding liberty against tyranny.

The United States Citizens KNOW that they're going to have to fight TYRANTS in their own government.
So does the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT IN CHIEF.
That's WHY he's going after guns, to protect his own life so he can destroy you.

You cannot protect life, without the ability to take life.

While you are WAITING for the police to respond, someone could be losing their life.
All people of a responsible age should be armed.

As EternalVigilance reminded us:

Click here to read the 12 page pamphlet.


Let us NEVER FORGET THAT !

Let's subjugate them to OUR end game, DUST!
"COMPROMISE" is a DIRTY word!
People who study the Bible know that COMPROMISE almost always leads to destruction.


It's time to mock the "Gun Control" Zombies!
"Gun Control" is a firm grip, steady breathing, accurate aim (developed by lots of practice), and a slow trigger pull.


The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
We need to learn from the Swiss and implement their "gun control measures" here in the United States right now, today!
These laws are the ones we should shove into the "2nd Amendment Haters" faces.

The Swiss have got it CORRECT !
Let's adopt THEIR LAWS !

Remember: Read Second Amendment: It’s Not About Hunting, IT'S ABOUT TYRANNY .

It could take hours to get police to get to my place. City people have no idea of what life is like out here in Gods country.

“I could have been killed that night. But, had I been armed, probably a single gunshot in the air would have prevented any threat.”

Bzzzt. Shoot center of mass or don’t shoot at all.

SCOTUS has ruled that the police do not have an obligation to protect us.

Anyone who thinks we should give up our guns and let the police protect us is an idiot.

I’d like to see an amendment (or a new law to override any executive action) to any gun laws passed that limits the number,and types, of weapons and magazines for any police, government agency, secret service, or any military firearm used inside the U.S. or any of its territories to the same limits that civilians are allowed to have. This would include flashbang grenades, automatic weapons, etc.

Let’s see how quick the government backs down, because they can’t really explain why these groups of people need such weapons any more than do civilians.

Could someone post the information about the SCOTUS decision that says police aren’t required to protect the citizenry?

It’s time to call guns in the hands of citizens by the proper term, which is NOT Assault Weapons, but DEFENSE WEAPONS.

Step one: Get the gun.
Step Two: Call 911. Ask that they send a hearse and the coroner.
