Reasons to Own A Gun

The Blaze recently ran a story listing a bunch of reasons for owning a gun. All are good, but all can be encompassed in ONE reason: YOU are responsible for YOUR OWN defense. You can’t depend on the cops because they rarely, if ever, arrive on time to PREVENT a crime. All they can do is DOCUMENT the crime, arrest the perpetrators (sometimes) and be around to comfort the victims while disposing of the body or bodies. The “anti-gun fools” tell you the cops CAN protect you, but that’s been proved a lie many times. MAYBE, if they HAPPEN to be right there when it happens, they can prevent it, but that’s a “fairy tale” that almost never happens. In the final analysis, self-defense falls to YOU, but politicians try their best to make that impossible for YOU while they run around with their armed security or carry their own guns. I can’t understand their motivation for that, except if they plan on BECOMING the attackers in the future and don’t want to face YOUR guns. (The Blaze)
