Nolte: Dear Gun-Grabbers, What’s Best for ‘Society’ Is Not My Problem

If you’re a man. I don’t mean a guy. I don’t mean a male. I mean, if you’re a man, your top priority, obligation, and, yes, privilege, are the safety and well-being of your family. That’s it. That’s the only responsibility that matters. And anyone who puts anything — including what’s best for society — ahead of that responsibility, who neglects his family or who sacrifices his family’s safety and well-being on the altar of some greater good, is not a man.

I own nine firearms, all of them loaded, all of them spread throughout my house.

If you were to ask me why I own nine firearms, my answer would likely depend on whether or not I liked the look of your face. If I don’t like the look of your face, I’ll tell you, It’s none of your goddamned business why I own nine firearms. What I put in my house is no concern of yours. You don’t see me asking you why you own nine blow-up dolls.

If I was okay with the look of your face, I would tell you the truth…

No matter how secure your house is, if someone wants to break into your house, on average, that will take about five seconds. This means that from the time you hear a thump, a crack, or glass break, you now have about 3.5 seconds to grab a gun.

There’s no place in my house, including the shower, where I can’t get my hands on a loaded gun in three seconds.

Plus, because of my work and opinions, I get threats. All the time, I’m threatened. Are they serious threats? Don’t know. Don’t care. What I do know is that a man with a family takes every threat seriously.

“All have subsequently been lost in a tragic boating accident.”

That is tragic! Flood got all of mine just recently

Freepers need to be more careful. So many guns have been lost in large bodies of water that it is changing the magnetic variation of the earth.

LOL! Naw, I’m good.

Why do I own firearms?

Because I do not trust the Government, in the form of the military and police, to be in sole possession of the means of deadly force.

only 9? You poor undergunned person.

My grandparents didn’t even lock their doors at night, but I need a gun on the desk when I’m working in my own living room in the middle of the day.

My parents don't. And they didn't/don't have guns. Hubby wants me to keep one of mine in easy reach during the day. I'm not really into that as we have two 4-legged girls and hubby is usually here with me, and we keep doors locked. Now, when hubby is gone? That's a different story: gun out; alarm on.
