Liberal Faulty Thinking

It’s typical liberal faulty thinking that says, since most “carriers” never have to use their guns to prevent crime, they don’t need them: “Liberals are constantly saying that the conservative argument for carrying a firearm for protection is overblown. Many of us who carry have never had to use our firearm in self-defense and so our argument is invalid, is the way the leftist argument goes. The problem with this rationale is that it is so demonstrably false as to be laughable. Almost every day guns are used to either stop a crime or to stop a criminal in the act of committing a crime.” What do people who have no guns do when confronted with a criminal who has an ILLEGAL gun? They call other people who DO have guns—and wait. Meanwhile, the criminal, who already has his gun, does his damage. Later on, AFTER the crime has been committed, the cops come, and “document it,” carry away the body (or bodies), and MAYBE—some day--catch and punish the criminal. This isn’t how I want it, and I don’t think you do, either. If a criminal shoots me, I want it to be the last thing he does in his life. How about you? (Eagle Rising)
