I don’t own guns, and don’t plan to. I go shooting occasionally with some friends who kindly take me along and taught me the basics of safety and shooting.
I’m also still generally trusting of most of American society and the police.
BUT - I am very pleased with the fact my neighbors are all armed. And above all, having lived in communist countries, I know that a disarmed society is a nation of slaves and sheep. The author didn’t mention this most important fact.
When living in CA, I drove liberal boss to lunch, and she noticed the NRA decal on the window. She asked, “Are you one of those pistol-packin’ mamas”?
I told I wasn’t, but believe 100 percent in the Second Amendment and we send a ton of money to the NRA every year. She didn’t know how to respond so said nothing. Always looked at me funny after that. And she never messed with me. ;)
If I understand you correctly, you are glad your neighbors are willing to shoulder their responsibilities, but you have no plans to do so and are willing to remain one of the sheep. Just my interpretation of your statement......
If you don't mind my asking...why?
