If you know me at all, you know I am an avid firearms person. Our 2nd Amendment states it is our right as Americans to carry a weapon. Every able body & mentally sane person should be strapped with a weapon. It's times like these that guns are imperative to our survival. That shooter knew he was entering a facility where there would be no one to fight him. He knew no one in that building was carrying a weapon. When is America going to realize in order to protect our persons you need to take advantage of our constitutional rights and arm themselves?
I dont believe in gun free zones. They breed crime. Every mass murder we have experienced over the years has been in a gun free zone. Do you think a shooter would have entered that school if security, school officials and even teachers were allowed to have protection on them? No way. There would have been too much of a risk of getting shot and ending their rein of terror too soon. And that's exactly how we want them to feel.
The average response time of police is 6 minutes. For those of you that have seen my videos, my average response time with my pistol is 1.31 seconds (based on the one caught on camera). I shot even better, with a shot 1.29 seconds. You tell me which is more efficient, waiting 6 minutes for the police to arrive, or 1.29 seconds for me to draw my weapon and end the rampage right then and there.
It upsets me so much that people feel guns are the issue. Guns aren't the issue. It's that people aren't arming themselves. It's that there are gun free zones everywhere that prohibits Americans from being able to protect themselves against incidents like today.
Dont believe me- look at incidents like Columbine, Virginia Tech, Omaha Mall Massacre, The midnight movie massacre with the infamous Joker, and many many more. All these shootings took place where guns were not allowed. Suspects prey on the weak.
My thoughts are that many people are uneducated and don't know the first thing about pistols or any other gun for that matter. They see it as a killing machine. Some people I have been around feel it's practically a sin to touch a firearm. Educate yourself. Take some classes, learn gun safety. No one is saying strap yourself with a P229 and know nothing about how it works, how it can malfunction and then not know how to fix it. It's our civil duty to learn about what to do in a time of crisis, how to breath through the stress and keep moving.
I have been fortunate enough for my family to provide me with the proper training and I am beyond thankful for the knowledge. It will last me the rest of my life. I now know I am able to care for and protect my family should the need arise. Shouldn't everyone feel safe, even if there is potential for danger? Shouldn't everyone have the right to protect themselves?
I dont know about you but you can wait 6 minutes for police to show up & see if you're still breathing by the end of it all. I will stick to my 1.29 seconds and save myself and save others and end everything right then and there. Go ahead. Just wait.
