My response to one of the anti-self defense cowards in the comments section of that article. They make the absurd claim that, “The cowards are the ones walking around armed, seeing boogiemen in every dark corner and escalating every dispute into a gun battle on Nevada streets...”
My response -
Except that none of what you claim has ever happened. That “Wild West” meme that you anti-self defense cowards and fools keep trotting out is largely a figment of Hollywood imagination. You really should try watching less TV and fewer movies.
The sad and disgusting thing is that you have at some point decided that neither your own life nor the lives of your loved ones (assuming you have any) aren’t worth defending. You have conflated a learned helplessness with an overweening sense of moral superiority. The former is merely contemptible, the latter is completely undeserved, and in the end, laughable.
In parting,here’s something for you to consider: the right to defend my own life, liberty and property (yes, property) is as absolute as my right to live. It is not subject to compromise or “reasonable restrictions” or so-called “common sense” laws.
Well said.
