Saw this on a thread here and I really like it. I am not sure if ALL of it is accurate, but the general idea is HOW I believe!!!
Why I Carry
a Gun
My old
grandpa said to me 'Son, there comes a time in every man's life when
he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps
and
usually
it's when he becomes too old to take an ... whoopin.'
I don't
carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being
killed.
I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry
a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary
place.
I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I
carry a gun because there are real threats in the
world..
I don't
carry a gun because I'm evil.
I carry a gun because I have
lived long enough to see the evil in the
world.
I don't
carry a gun because I hate the government.
I carry a gun because
I understand the limitations of government..
I don't
carry a gun because I'm angry.
I carry a gun so that I don't have
to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be
prepared.
I don't
carry a gun because I want to shoot someone.
I carry a gun
because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a
sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don't
carry a gun because I'm a cowboy.
I carry a gun because, when I
die and go to heaven, I want to be a
cowboy.
I don't
carry a gun to make me feel like a man.
I carry a gun because men
know how to take care of themselves and the ones they
love.
I don't
carry a gun because I feel inadequate.
I carry a gun because
unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I
am inadequate.
I don't
carry a gun because I love it.
I carry a gun because I love life
and the people who make it meaningful to me.
Police protection
is an oxymoron.
Free
citizens must protect themselves.
Police do
not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime
after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the
mess.
Personally,
I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take an
... whoopin'.....author unknown (but obviously
brilliant)

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY
1700s England tried to enforce gun control on the New England States of North America to raise taxes without public uproar. Didn't work, they became the United States of America and signed their declaration of independance in July 1776. With a Bill of Rights including one right of which to bear arms (GUNS) so their governmment would not repeat forcing high taxes and overbearing government down their throats and be unable to defend themselves and be exterminated.
In 1929, the Soviet Union
established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million
dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated.
------------------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915
to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
Germany
established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13
million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were
rounded up and exterminated.
------------------------------
China established
gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political
dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and
exterminated
------------------------------
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964
to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were
rounded up and exterminated.
---- -------------
-------------
Uganda established gun control in 1970.
From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves,

------------------------------

unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------------
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the
20th Century because of gun control: 56
million.
------------------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear
politicians disseminating this information.
Guns in
the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes,
gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!
The next time someone talks in favor of gun control,
please remind them of this history lesson.
With guns,
we are 'citizens'. Without them, we are 'subjects'.
During WWII the Japanese decided not to invade America because
they knew most Americans were ARMED!
If you value your
freedom, please spread this anti gun-control
message to all of your friends.
The
purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no
possible victory in defense.
The sword
is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than
either.
The final
weapon is the brain.
All else is
supplemental.
SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A
GUN
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERYADULT THEY ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE
LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD!!!
IT'S A NO BRAINER!
DON'T LET
OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO
MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING CITIZENS AN EASY TARGET.
I'm a firm
believer in the 2nd Amendment!
