“Any politico who's afraid of his constituents being armed, should be. Leaders of the anti-gun movement (for the most part, politicians who enthusiastically advocate confiscatory taxation and government control of everything) realize that a populace is much easier to herd, loot and dispose of if it has been stripped of its weapons. The naked fraud and transparent fascism of victim disarmament must be eradicated through the repeal of all gun laws at every level of government.” IfsShouldHas BeensGovernmentLawRealizingLevelsLeaderMovementPoliticianEasierWeaponsGunVictimNakedFraudFascismTaxationTransparentHerdsDisarmamentConstituentsAnti GunGun Law Author:L.

“American cops didn't create that atmosphere, they're the ones though who have to live with it on a daily basis. These are generalisations; you can't make generalisations about hundreds of thousands of people. The New York Police Department, for instance, has 38,000 police officers in it. But most cops, when I talk to them, desperately care about the victims of gun violence.

“Without doubt one is allowed to resist against the unjust aggressor to one's life, one's goods or one's physical integrity; sometimes, even 'til the aggressor's death... In fact, this act is aimed at preserving one's life or one's goods and to make the aggressor powerless. Thus, it is a good act, which is the right of the victim.” SometimesFactsDoubtIntegrityGunVictimGoodsGun ControlUnjustPowerlessAggressors Author:Thomas Aquinas
“History has shown that the greater power of the gun is its power to deter. Bear in mind that criminals, by definition, target only victims they believe they can overpower. When the intended victim draws a gun, the predator realizes that their erstwhile target has the ability to kill them instantly. This tends to modify their behavior immediately without a shot being fired.” MindBelieveRealizingAbilityGreaterBearsBehaviorDrawsGunShotsVictimDefinitionsCriminalsTargetPredatorGreater Power Author:Massad Ayoob
