The Case for More Guns, Learn to Think Like The Sheep Who Chose to Be Unarmed

People in the gun culture often express amazement about people who want them disarmed. They ascribe the desire to hostility and malice. It may be true for a minority of those who actively wish for a disarmed population.  A significant number, likely a majority, have made a voluntary decision to be unarmed.

It is important to know your opponent and to understand their motives.

Three years ago, this correspondent wrote an essay on how to understand people who want a disarmed population. It was popular but did not appear on AmmoLand News at that time.

I have updated the essay for current conditions.

There Is An Easy Way To Understand People Who Wish You To Be Unarmed.

It takes a little discipline. You may have a little mental discomfort, but it is not particularly difficult.  For the ability to understand the other side, assume you have deliberately chosen to be unarmed.

Choosing to be armed is more difficult. It requires action. It requires training. It requires an investment in money and time. You think about unpleasant realities and plan for unpleasant possibilities. You devote time and money to be armed. A higher level of responsibility is required.

Once you internalize the decision to be unarmed, arguments on the other side become understandable. The voluntarily unarmed people we are attempting to understand are those who have moved from the decision to be unarmed, to the policy statement “guns are bad”.Guns are Bad

Editor changed the original headline.

The original was:

Learn to Think like Someone who Chose to be Unarmed

I didn’t own a firearm for over 50 years. Once talk of disarming people of their right to keep and bear arms I purchased some firearms so I won’t be left out of being disarmed by the NAZI Fascists/ Communists.

I now feel all warm and fuzzy because I belong to a group.

“When only the police and military have guns”.

That is hilarious. I wonder what the teacher said to the student? Assuming it’s real, of course.

Now that you’re on a list of gun owners, it makes it all the more easier to round you up when the time comes.

HONEY-—IF YOU NEVER come on to my property to cause trouble, YOUR life will not be in danger.

It isn’t MY HOBBY-—IT is MY self-defense.

When there are only seconds at risk, the deputies are only minutes way-—she obviously has NEVER experienced that-—

I HAVE.

I drove off the local drug dealer in broad daylight with my shotgun when he came onto my property to cause trouble.

That might be one way of looking at it.

I doubt that it is real unless it was possibly coached by a conservative parent. It is funny though!

It’s a great column to help understand the mentality we are up against.

Reminds me of late 1968, after the murder of Bobby Kennedy, when some people put signs in their windows saying...”THIS HOUSE IS NOT ARMED!”

It didn’t last long.
