A Facebook post from some hyped-up gun group says I should show my patriotism by exercising my God-given right to carry a weapon. Why in heaven's name should I carry a gun? If someone came up to me in Walmart and shoved a Glock whatever in my ribs, a gun in my purse would do me no good whatsoever because I'd never be able to rummage through everything and get it out before he knocked my block off. |

Not what you'd call a "deep thinker".
ALL rights come from God, and the right to life (and to defend and preserve that life) is the FIRST right listed in our charter, the Declaration of Independence.
And THAT document is the foundational ethos of this nation, CHISELED IN GRANITE. |

| Sad that she (assumed female due to purse comment) has such a victim mentality! Her comment ranks right up there with wetting your pants if attacked by a rapist! Better she give up than take a defensive action. Her ignorance is surpassed by her unwillingness to acknowledge that others are not as helpless as she desires to be. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
