Dan Rodricks says we won! We didn't win. The media and liberals seem to think that we who exercise our 2A rights take pleasure in these horrible shootings. I've got news for you Dan, we don't celebrate these acts. In fact we deplore them. We want answers too. In regards to mental health, how do you determine a person is mentally ill if that person doesn't seek treatment? Do you sweep in like the Gestapo and round up people who are suspected of being mentally ill? Involuntary holding those people until an evaluation is done?
So, Dan contacts a Hopkins trained ( read brainwashed ) man who says that if you have to go through life armed you are a coward! Taking his statement with less then a grain of salt, is this what we've come down to; name calling! Really?
Maybe if you spend some time with and getting to know what the 2A community is about you will learn some interesting things.
Although I don't speak for the vast majority of gun owners, I believe we are highly trained, responsible citizens. We go to great lengths to ensure that we stay within the confines of laws that are written. We don't own firearms because we are cowards, we own firearms because we are brave! We face tremendous criticism from law makers, the media, and those who belief that normal citizens should not have guns. If normal citizens should not have guns, that leaves only abnormal people armed with guns. Now that thought is scary.
Imagine your utopia of unarmed normal citizens. Now imagine your utopia filled with abnormal people with guns. Can you tell me the normal unarmed citizens can all be protected from the abnormal armed people? No, they can't all be protected. Dan, would it surprise you to learn that your utopia does exist? It exists right here in Maryland right now. As I write this I am leaving my home to be out and about the streets of Baltimore. My guns are safely locked away and I am unarmed. I hope I don't run into an abnormal armed person on the street, because I am at their mercy. Oh by the way, if a normal person is described as a law abiding unarmed citizen then an abnormal person is described as an armed criminal or armed mentally ill person. Does that sound like the utopia you wanted, because that is the utopia you have.
