I want to point out one thing:
Anti-gun liberals from all over know they’re going to get roasted over the coals of logic on this French Islamist terror wave, evidence of which is already showing up in opinion pieces where they’re trying to capture and narrow the debate before the facts are known. Ordinarily, they chastise their opposition from making political hay when events like these occur, but this one is so awful that they can’t just stand pat and try to browbeat their opponents into silence -— so they’re trying to get out some kind of narrative to shift the debate.
You can always tell when a liberal is about to get their ass argumentatively kicked when they’re compelled to blurt out a knee-jerk reaction to a high profile event.
We absolutely cannot let them make claims that just because most Americans are now able to CCW that it somehow makes those of us who do so into little junior G-man counter-terrorist special agents ready to confront armed bad guys and be a hero saving the lives of hostages and bystanders. That’s fantasy, theirs, not mine.
No, sir. No, that’s not what my carry piece is intended for. My carry piece is intended to protect ME, not you or anyone else. Sucker, you’re on your own. If I see some French-Algerian Islamist pointing an AK47 or an RPG rocket in your face at a gas station, me and my CCW piece are headed in the opposite direction. I’ll be a good witness for the cops instead, and will go into great detail with investigators later on about how they shot your unarmed ass down in cold blood.
That’s the message we need to be sending in reply to all gun grabbing anti-gunners who try to touch on the topic of American CCW in relation to this dreadful terror attack in France. Any rational person either on the fence or leaning towards their side will come running over to our side when the scope of the debate is laid out like this: “It should be abundantly clear that you are on your own. The laws won’t stop the killers. I’ve got my gun, where’s yours?”. Period.
Just look at the gun sales figures these days. People all over are waking up.
Well said - and I think you are very correct when you said: “Just look at the gun sales figures these days. People all over are waking up.”
I believe that is the case - I was at a gun show recently that I frequent every time it’s in town - it was packed for most of the day.
People know it’s only a matter of time before an attack happens here, they know that they will need to be able to defend themselves
AND they know that the socialist national gun grabber groups will try to use such an attack to take away the guns of those who wouldn’t even think of doing such a thing.
