Long ago when I was about 12 someone was trying to break down our front door. Kept bashing into it. My siblings, my mother and I were home. It had to be about 1am or so. Dad worked night shift, so we the responsible parties.

My brother and I went to the gun rack for the shotgun and rifle. Another bash on the door and we loudly announced our guns and that as soon as the door was busted open we would shoot.

It stopped. The guy left. Which tells me it was real, it intended harm, and that guns deterred it.

This kind of incident never makes it into the stats.

Funny thing is, like I said, 20 year old data so how accurate is it today? Great minds and all that.

I’m LESS afraid of someone trying to harm me than I am of my own Government trying to disarm me!

2A All The Way, Baby. :)

You can ALL see clearly that disarming, ‘We The People’ is the underlying wish of the DemonRat Party.

Power over all of us is what they really want. And, Good Luck with THAT, LOL!
