Three Good Reasons Americans Need Their Guns; Why We Will Never Give Them Up



We live in a violent world.

American citizens are much more likely to be killed by lightning than by international terrorism, that’s a given; but the odds of being killed in a violent crime increase dramatically here at home, among our shopping malls and movie theaters. Even Christmas parties are no longer safe.

Mass shootings like those in San Bernardino, Newtown, and Aurora (isn’t it sad that we now know these beautiful small towns by a singular name, forever equated with unparalleled tragedy) are horrific for sure, but nobody says anything about the fact that there is a Newtown-type body count on the streets of Chicago every single weekend, or that more people were murdered in that city last year than the total number of soldiers and Marines who died in Afghanistan during the same time period. Nearly all of the victims in Chicago were killed with handguns.

Even in the tranquil woods of Northern Michigan there is need to be concerned for one’s personal safety; this writer’s in particular, as I have been the target of numerous death threats over the internet and to my office telephone because of my support for conservative commentator Michelle Malkin and the 2nd Amendment.

Malkin had been the target of thug rapper “The Game” and hundreds of his followers on Twitter whose vile epithets, threats of rape and murder were just too much for this writer to remain silent. The Game had tweeted that Malkin and FOX News should be boycotted. Fair enough. I called for the same in reference to his album “Jesus Piece,” and was suddenly “Malkined.”

Hundreds of The Game’s fans began tweeting obscenities, and there were a few death threats thrown in as well; but what really drew my attention was one Twit’s threat to rape my wife, who is battling Stage IV Colo-rectal and Liver cancer. These threats have been reported to the proper authorities, and I am anxiously awaiting the results of their investigation.

Since I can’t have a police officer stationed outside my house 24/7, and any help from 911 would most likely arrive too late, I have once again applied for a concealed pistol license (CPL) so that I can protect my family wherever I go without drawing stares and freaking people out with the .40 caliber cannon I carry.

However, since Michigan is an Open Carry state, I suppose I will have to suffer the occasional disapproving glance until I go before the gun board next month. That’s what law-abiding citizens do; they apply for a permit if they wish to carry a concealed weapon. How many criminals does the anti-gun lobby expect will do the same?

But the Second Amendment is not about personal protection or hunting. The Founders were wise enough to enshrine our Natural Rights in the Constitution. They knew that there would always be evil men who would do anything to gain absolute power, and they wanted to give their posterity the means to defend themselves from Tyrants who would wield that power like a club given the opportunity.

Nate Wessler, an attorney on the ACLU’s Targeted Assassinations team told this writer after the President had ordered the deaths of American citizens Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan without so much as charging them with a crime that Obama was now, “Judge, jury, and executioner.” Writing as Publius in Federalist Paper #47, James Madison proclaimed, “The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands… may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”

Taken together the truthful statements of these two men define the new paradigm in the United States; a once proud Constitutional Republic where justice and the rule of law reigned supreme, but which has devolved into a state where the President can now order the extrajudicial killing of an American citizen in secret, behind closed doors.

The Republic has fallen, and a Tyranny now stands in its place. It is only a matter of time before the evils that have been visited upon the innocent peoples of the Middle East through Obama’s support of al-Qaeda are turned inward, against the American citizenry at large.

This video and the accompanying article are not the ravings of a paranoid gun nut. Dozens of states have told the federal government that they will not allow the indefinite detention of their citizens in accordance with the NDAA. Michigan, my state, is the latest among them.

On December 5th of 2012, the Michigan House of Representatives voted 107-0 to nullify that treasonous federal legislation. Sheriffs from all over the country are standing up, mailing letters to the President and Vice-president informing them, literally, that they will not comply with new gun legislation that violates the 2nd Amendment, quite literally saying “over our dead bodies.”

Serious people, your local elected representatives (don’t count on anyone in Washington for help), are beginning to realize that this country is about to fundamentally change and they are taking steps to protect the citizens in their state, in their county, and in their town. Fears of a new American Revolution abound, and if history is any indication, we are on the very brink of one.

  2. Hey brother! My heart goes out to you in these dire times. I know you aren't seeking pity and that is not my intent.

    I am a Christian, avid gun nut and father of three. I am struggling to make it month to month in these times, as are most people. Therefore, I cannot offer you money. But what I do offer you is the peace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!! I'm praying for ya' bro! I stand in agreement with you that God's perfect will be done in your life, as well as the live of your precious wife.

    If the need arises, I will also stand shoulder to shoulder with you to protect the freedoms this great nation was founded under!

    May God richly bless you and yours!!

    1. Thank you both. Your prayers are more valuable to me than anything. As far as money goes, Father will move those with the resources to provide what we need. He hasn't failed us yet and I have no reason to think that He ever will.

      The King is coming! Look up brother, our salvation draws near.
