Let's Talk About Responsibility

Let's talk a little about responsibility. 

If a healthy person who is able to work but decides that he doesn't want to work; he would rather transfer his individual responsibilities to the State (other tax paying citizens), does society at large consider that person a responsible person or irresponsible? 

If a person decided that they did not want to recycle or care for the environment, they would rather transfer those responsibilities and costs to the State (other tax paying citizens) would that person be considered responsible or irresponsible?

I believe that most readers would agree that in the above examples, transferring social responsibilities to others would be considered inappropriate and irresponsible.

Why then when it comes to self-defense do gun lawy encourage law abiding citizens be at the mercy of the lawless and/or force them to only rely on the police for their protection? Is this not a tranfer of personal responsibility as well?


Why not own your responsibility, prepare yourself and carry a firearm?  

Who Is Supposed to Protect Us?

This video is going viral this week supposedly to show us how dangerous guns are, and create a 'bottoms up' groundswell of support for gun control.

A better question would be this...the gun control advocates would have us to believe that the police (and other governmental agencies) are there to protect us.  This is not true.  These agencies exist to keep the peace.  They arrive AFTER the crime occurs the VAST majority of time.

Would you rather carry a weapon for your personal protection, or would you rather rely on someone else to protect you?  That's what the argument comes down to...
