Liberals don’t want you to defend yourself. They want the criminal to waltz right in and take whatever he wants.
The libs want you to believe that the government is going to keep you safe with the police; therefore, there is no need for you to protect yourself because the police will do that for you.
Sadly, people believe this obvious myth because the media constantly reinforces that myth. If the police could protect everyone, then no one should be murdered, assaulted, or raped. However, that is patently false. Once you realize that the police cannot protect you personally, you are forced to acknowledge the fact that you have to accept the responsibility for protecting yourself.
