The Call For Disarming America

Ten years ago, I was closing up a local fast food restaurant when out of the shadows a man came asking "where the money was". He was after the night deposit. The company policy was that those deposits were made the next morning, so all he got was what cash I had on me. Yes he had a gun, which strangely was probably good because of the way he had set things up. Had he not been carrying a pistol he would have probably hit me in the head with something heavy enough to do damage, serious damage.
It took the police 55min to arrive on the scene after they were called, no blood, no hurry.
The point is that the moment of truth you have no one there to help you but you. You must be willing to call up the spirit of wanting to live, to be able to draw another breath. Acts like this happen so fast that you do not have time to call someone, run away, or lock yourself in the car and drive off etc.
My grandfather, gone now 19yrs after living to be 91, used to tell me stories of having to pull a gun in self defense. Not that he ever shot someone, but the need was there, and having a weapon with him save his life. I don't remember in any of the stories him saying that the other party was threatening him with a gun, but the situations were dangerous enough just the same.
Wake up in the middle of the night and witness someone coming in your bedroom window, I'll bet they get to you before the police get to them.
Our jails are over crowded....... any idea why?.......................lots of bad people maybe?
I really think that some that cry for gun control never have seen the dark side of humanity. They are surrounded by yes people and high walls, none of which the rest of us get to enjoy.
They have never been alone in a situation that requires them to defend themselves, and believe me,"I have a phone and I'm calling the police" won't work.
Statistics tell us that a woman is raped in this country every 3-6 min, one happen while you were reading this, think any of these victims might have benefited from the presence of a firearm?
Guns are tools no better or worse than their owners, the amusing thing is that those that would round up all the guns think that outlaws will just turn theirs in also..............(why do you think they are called outlaws??)
The major thing is that those who would disarm us, say they will protect us..........the problem is......................we don't trust you..........have a nice day.

ps The only form of gun control I support is that as stated by "the NUGE" "Gun control, the ability to put 2 bullets in the same hole" wp
