These are not my words (not sure who's), but it's exactly how I feel and I thank those who gave me this right.
"I stand behind you in line at the store with a smile on my face...and a gun under my shirt and you are none the wiser, yet you are safer for having me next to you. I won't shoot you. My gun won't pull it's own trigger. It is securely holstered with the trigger covered. It can't just go off. However, rest assured that if a lunatic walks into the grocery store and pulls out a rifle, I will draw my pistol and protect myself and my family and therefore protect you and your family. I may freeze up. I may piss my pants. I may get shot before I can pull the trigger...but, I won't die in a helpless blubbering heap on the floor begging for my life or my child's life. I won't be that victim. I choose not to be. As for you, I don't ask you to carry a gun. If you are not comfortable, then please don't. But I would like to keep my right to choose to not be a helpless victim. There is evil in the world and if evil has a gun, I want one too...
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
GOOD quote......HOWEVER, r AR 15'S really a weapon we would want in our masses???

BIGGIE....ammunition is ABSENT,or scarce, on our side of the mountain...
Per the FBI, all rifles kill less than three hundred Americans a year. More people are killed with fists and blunt weapons. Handguns? They kill eight thousand a year.
It is like while the Democrats obsess about black rifles, they ignore the weapons that makes cities like Chicago and Detroit streets run red with blood.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Consider this, Mexico has really draconian gun laws. It is really hard to get permission to buy a gun legally. There is only one gun store, so if you get permission, you have to go to Mexico City to buy it. Despite all this, they have a gun death rate substantially higher than the United States. So maybe it isn't about gun laws?

Maybe it is, but not about gun laws in Mexico, but gun laws in the U.S.
More than 164,000 guns have been traced from criminals in Mexico to U.S. gun shops and factories since 2007.
The black market in guns is driving murders on both sides of the border, and traffickers exploit the confusing patchwork of regulations that govern the legal firearms industry in America. Amazingly, there is no federal statute specifically prohibiting firearms trafficking in the United States.
