Despite what some over-educated leftists may think, there ARE some truths in life. One of those is described by Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson- “… arms… discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. … Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived the use of them.” -Thomas Paine.
“Laws that forbid the carrying of arms… disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes… Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.” – Thomas Jefferson, quoting Cesare Beccaria.
Criminals are opportunists, and forbidding the carrying of firearms by the law abiding helps no one, except for violent criminals. Zendo Deb offers up this story .From New York, where leftists have erased the liberty to arm yourself
The law-abiding are disarmed (it’s for your own protection!), and the lawless are free to act. NYC subway slashing victim says bystanders just watched: ‘Nobody helped me’
A straphanger who was slashed in a random transit attack in Queens recounted the bloody assault to The Post on Monday — saying bystanders didn’t lift a finger to help.
“The blood is coming down my face and I am screaming for help,” Hector Hernandez, 36, recalled from his home in Brooklyn, a day after the horrifying incident.
“Nobody helped me.”
Such is the progressive utopia of NYC.
As for the defenselessness of the law-abiding:
“This is the first time anything like this happened,” he said. “But what can I do? I still need to work … I don’t carry a knife or anything to protect [myself]. I can’t get arrested.
“I don’t know,” he said. “I don’t know what I’m going to do.”
This person is left no good choice by the Statist miscreants running the Rotten Apple. They care more frankly, about banning guns, bans which criminals will ignore of course, than they do about law abiding citizens. And, of course the damned fools who reside in New York keep electing statists. Layers and layers of stupidity and fools.
I would guess that if this nation made teaching about our founding, and its principles, and natural rights mandatory in schools, the people would reject the leftists politicians that trample those rights. Instead, we allow and encourage “teachers” who are not fit to shovel camel dung to teach our children that our Founders were all racists, and that our constitution does not say what it clearly says.
