The world is not ready for peace.
That is not to say that peace is not wanted or welcome;
however the people of this world could never sustain it. Seeing as an entire,
wholesome atmosphere of happy feelings and kindness will never pervade the
entire Earth, some defenses are in order. That’s right. If you can’t count on
somebody else not to hurt your family, then you’ve got to step up and keep them
safe. The same goes for lone riders; a single mom has to protect her daughters
or sons from the darkness of the world. A college student has to be sure she’s
safe walking around campus on her own. Too many women and girls are abducted
every day to be raped, murdered, or both. Males aren’t always safe either.
People kill, maim, steal and destroy at a moment’s notice, not always giving
police time to step up and protect.
This is what incenses me so incredibly when
sheltered, opinionated teenagers with their peace decals and salted-caramel
frappuccinos insist upon a gun-free society. Newsflash, my sensitive little
friend; the world isn’t safe. Ah, yes, you
say, the world isn’t safe! Doesn’t that
mean we should take away guns? If we make them illegal, won’t the criminals
stop using them? Well, as strange as this may sound, criminals don’t
usually adhere 100% to the law. In FACT, sometimes they even break the law!
Sarcasm aside, the anti-gun
argument is incredibly weak to me. I see no logic in taking the guns from the
good guys and leaving the Jokers to run around with their firearms spinning
wild. We do not live in a utopian society. This is America! We could never, ever staunch the flow of guns or
materials required to create guns entirely enough to ensure the criminal class
is without them; at least, not without restricting freedom. Bad men will always
conspire to sneak their deadly weapons into the vulnerable places of the world
such as churches, elementary schools and airports. If this is the truth, and it is – How could we ever take
defense away from the good guys, the heroes, the knights in shining armor? Imagine a good civilian, armed, for every evil
man with a firearm in a theater. It would be really hard for a madman to shoot
a child if seven barrels were trained back at him when he drew his gun.
Say America managed to cleanse
its veins of gunpowder. Do you suppose psychos would end their homicidal
tirades? Aw, gee, Killer, ain’t a gun to
be found. Better head home. It’s not
like we can bomb, stab, or strangle instead. Guns are the only way to kill
people. Jig’s up.
Hardly. People tend to think that
if we arm everyone, bullets will fly. I’m not suggesting we arm everyone. I’m suggesting we allow
responsible, licensed individuals to
carry guns with them throughout society. The chances of a defender in the crowd
increase exponentially if we stop trying to disarm honest men and women.
The criminals are arriving armed.
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with one.
