There is much conspiracy
now about the Second Amendment, and I find it rather ludicrous. We have the right to bear arms. Period.
It’s part of our American heritage.
It’s who we are. It’s one of our many
freedoms and it should not be revoked.
That being said, should anyone be allowed to purchase an AK47 combat
rifle? I would ask this…. Why would
anyone, outside of our military, who are fighting for and defending our
freedoms, need an AK47 machine gun? [
I mean, with the exception of the traditional Mafia families like those found in my Just Call Me Angel series, who fight the Russian Mob and need big guns for more action-packed pages!]
Should there be restrictions on the type of gun an average American is
allowed to purchase? Maybe. I don’t know.
It seems to me that laws, rules and restrictions only affect the morally
upright person who will obey them, and those aren’t the people who are going to
use a gun (of any make and model) to go on a killing spree. Your morally bankrupt killers will find a way
around the restriction and get whatever gun they want anyway…. so, to me, the
argument seems rather moot.
I’m an American. I have freedom of speech. I have freedom of religion. I have the right to bear arms and I own the responsibility
that comes with this freedom.
Allow me to share an
article featuring advice from several Concealed Carry Instructors:
The Rules of a Gunfight
A: Guns have only two
enemies - rust and politicians.
B: It's always better to
be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
C: Cops carry guns to
protect themselves, not you.
D: Never let someone or
something that threatens you get inside arms length.
E: Never say "I've
got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear
should be the safety clicking off.
F: The average response
time of a 911 call is 13 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per
second.
G: The most important
rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.
H: Make your attacker
advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun,
but he'll have to beat you to death with it, ‘cause it'll be empty.
J: In a life and death
situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!
K: If you carry a gun,
people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be
paranoid about?
L: You can say 'stop' or
any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty
much a universal language.
M: Owning a gun doesn’t
make you aggressive… it give you the opportunity to save yourself and your
family if, God forbid, that need arises.
If you're in a gun
fight:
1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
2. If you're not loading, you should be moving.
3. If you're not moving, you're dead.
Believe in the 2nd
Amendment. Believe in your freedom. Believe in America.
