Pointed
Commentary
 I asked myself recently why I don't own
guns, and I answered myself by saying "I'm
a civilized person. I don't think we should
be shooting other people. The judicial
system should be the entity which decides
who lives or dies, not you or I or the
police."
Yes, if we didn't have guns I could be
attacked by a large person brandishing
a large, pointed stick, though
I could probably outrun him as long sticks
impede one's running gait. And since it's
rather difficult to hide a long
pointed
stick I would most likely see my assailant
coming and would therefore get a good,
running start.
Lesson: Violent people with long, pointed
sticks is a good reason to stay physically
fit.
However, because
guns are readily available to anyone
who
can
afford one,
or can steal
one, I can by attacked by anyone, and from
long distance. Even if I had a gun I couldn't
shoot back if I was already dead from a preemptive
attack.
Lesson:
Carrying a gun for protection
will not ward off sneak attacks. And if you get fat
and happy carrying a gun around you can't outrun
people with pointed sticks when you run out of ammo.
Given
the two scenarios, gimme the sticks any day.

Today (12-29-14) a well-regulated
militia shots
his wife to death shortly after
making the claim on Facebook that guns are "protection
from the government".
On 12-30-14 a cute little two-year-old well-regulated
militia shot
and killed his mother with her own
gun while she was shopping at Walmart.
