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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
