CITIGROUP IMPOSES RESTRICTIONS ON CLIENT GUN SALES Company’s Chief Executive Officer defends anti-gun policy in email provided exclusively to Infowars Adan Salazar

Citigroup announced Thursday it’s implementing restrictions on client firearm sales, making it the first major bank to impose such gun control measures.
In an email to employees provided to Infowars, Citigroup Chief Executive Officer Mike Corbat detailed new policies applying to “small business, commercial and institutional clients, as well as credit card partners.”
The policy is ostensibly “designed to respect the rights of responsible gun owners while helping keep firearms out of the wrong hands.”
Citi’s new “US Commercial Firearms Policy” requires firearms only be sold to people age 21 or older, that gun purchasers pass a background check, and restricts sales of bump stocks or “high-capacity magazines.”
If retail clients refuse to enact Citi’s “best practices over the coming months,” they are free to part ways with the bank, Corbat wrote.
“If they opt not to, we will respect their decision and work with them to transition their business away from Citi,” reads the email to employees.
Additionally, potential clients would be screened to ensure their businesses adhere to the new policy.
Corbat, who claims to be “an avid outdoorsman and responsible gun owner,” says the new restrictions are a great compromise for Second Amendment advocates and anti-gunners.
“We don’t have the perfect solution to supporting our Constitution while keeping our children and grandchildren safe,” he writes, adding, “But we shouldn’t let that stop us from doing our part.”
The bank’s announcement comes in the wake of a massive gun control push following a school shooting in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead and several injured.

The NRA – FUBAR again!

NRA Supports States Enacting ‘Extreme Risk Protection Orders’

BY  |

MAR 13, 2018 |

“We need to stop dangerous people before they act, so Congress should provide funding for states to adopt risk protection orders. This can help prevent violent behavior before it turns into a tragedy. These laws allow a court to intervene and temporarily remove firearms when a person threatens violence to themselves or others.” And with that, the NRA’s Chis Cox made official the gun rights org’s support for confiscating an individual’s firearms based on a friend’s or family member’s suspicions.

The NRA is obviously feeling the heat and feeling pressure to, well, do something in the face of a rising tide of gun control bills being enacted in various states following the Parkland massacre. This appears to be the “solution” they worked out with President Trump in their recent meeting at the White House.

So-called extreme risk protection orders were included among the proposals the Trump administration announced over the weekend.

The proposals announced Sunday include “things that we know have broad-based support and can immediately get done,” she said. That includes encouraging states to train school personnel to use guns and to adopt “extreme risk protection orders” that would allow weapons to be seized from people considered dangerous with a court’s approval, as the National Rifle Association has insisted.

We’re living in interesting times.

A Lesson on Gun Rights Infringements from Norway

Poor Norway! I see from below that it has decided to go the way of California. just remember this Folks when the issue of “reasonable Gun Rules” comes up!

Norwegian hunters lose semi-automatic games

Hard criticism from Norway’s Hunter and Fisheries Federation

FOREIGNPUBLISHED: 2018-03-13 12:18

(UPDATED) The Norwegian parliament goes further than the EU’s new arms directive has taken the first step towards banning most semi-automatic bouncers in the country. Norway’s Hunter and Fisheries Federation (NJFF) strongly criticizes the new coat of arms, which means that those who already have “wrong” bouts can not keep their weapons.

“NJFF believes it is unacceptable with a retroactive ban on hunting weapons that has been in use for many decades. That the victims are not given the opportunity to compensate do not make the case better. We will work hard to get compensation, “said the federal hunting consultant Vidar Nilsen in a statement from NJFF.
Three years to scrape or sell the gun
According to representatives of the Norwegian government, the new weapons team may land in the event that affected gun owners get three years to scrape the gun or try to sell the weapon to foreign buyers.
The situation in Norway before the change of laws is that there are only a number of semi-automatic bounce models that are allowed to hunt if they do not have a “military character”.
Seeks to ban Ruger Mini
Exactly what more semi-automatic bouncers who become illegal due to the change of laws are unclear. But already it is clear that semifinals like the Ruger Mini will be banned. It was the model Breivik used to kill 69 people on Utöya 2011. What more weapons models affected by the ban will be determined by what is written after the law changes.
May own another two hunting weapons
The new coat of arms will mean that the hunters in Norway receive an extended weapon cage and can own eight hunting weapons instead of max six bets.
“It is a clear light point that the plot listened to the hunters as to how many hunting weapons may be needed by hunters,” Vidar Nilsen feels.
Here is a list, including which semi-automatic bouncers are currently approved for hunting.

SWITZERLAND PROVES THAT MORE GUN LAWS ARE NOT THE SOLUTION TO AMERICA’S MASS SHOOTING PROBLEM

Matthew Eagle

Matthew Eagle aka Digital Darwinist is a mad scientist, writer, and bodybuilder from the North Texas area of the United States who identifies as a right-leaning libertarian and enjoys smooth jazz and white wine. He runs his blog Digital Darwinist where he writes about science/technology, culture, economics, and politics. You can also follow him on Minds, Facebook, Twitter, Gab, and Instagram.

  

I was lucky enough to be a part of one of the last great Boy Scout troops here in North Texas, where we were taught proper marksmanship by an ex-special forces scoutmaster. He ran the troop military-style, dividing us into patrols, where we could attain ranks such as patrol leader and assign push-ups to disobedient scouts of lower rank.
This taught us discipline, responsibility, and how to work with other young men to achieve common goals, as well as other manly skills such as how to build a fire and survive in the wilderness.

Switzerland takes this concept one step further with mandatory military service for all men, as well as maintaining youth clubs comparable to the Boy Scouts, and therefore despite having one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world, they simultaneously have one of the lowest rates of mass shootings of any nation. What this tells us is that the United States does not have a gun problem, but rather a culture problem.
While Switzerland has not been involved in any serious armed conflict since the mid-1800s, they have scrupulously maintained an outstanding military. All able-bodied men must serve at least 300 days in the armed forces—not including boot camp and specialized training—and after completing their service will drill with the reserves for the next ten years.
If a citizen is deemed unfit for military service, they will most likely be required to perform some other civil service, such as serving as a police officer, firefighter, teacher, or will perform some other form of community service and will pay a slightly higher income tax until the age of thirty.
Citizens are fairly compensated for their service, and are given their rifle to keep in their home in the event of a national emergency. This is sometimes referred to as the “gun in every closet policy,” which effectively arms around half of the population. The benefits of this system are threefold.

1. Military Preparedness


If Switzerland was ever invaded, the Swiss government could mobilize every able-bodied man at the drop of a hat. Many historians even speculate that this is the reason that Hitler chose not to invade Switzerland during WWII. He knew that attacking an entire nation of well-trained and well-armed, freedom-loving nationalistic militiamen who had been training for a foreign invasion since their adolescence would be more trouble than it was worth.
To hold and occupy a territory such as this, once conquered, would require more effort than Hitler was willing to expend.

2. Skilled Citizens

This policy leads to a population that leaves the military and enters the workforce with discernible skills that can be used to support themselves.
This prevents people from descending into poverty and sucking on the government teat via the welfare system, and helps to curtail violent crime. An unskilled labor force is an unstable and volatile labor force.

3. A Strong Sense Of Nationalism


It is only natural that nationalism springs from military service like water springs from Old Faithful in Yellowstone. When you put your blood, sweat, and tears into something, it gives you a sense of responsibility for that something, a sense that a small piece of it belongs to you, like owning stock in a corporation.
When you consider that less than one percent of the American population is active military, yet almost twenty-five percent of Americans are receiving welfare, the entitled American “gimmedat” attitude at becomes all too evident.

The Link To Mass Shootings

Aftermath of the Las Vegas massacre in 2017.

Mostly stemming from the radical left of the American political spectrum, buzzwords like “toxic masculinity” have been spreading like wildfire. As early as elementary school, teachers are shaming boys for having masculine traits and indoctrinating children with the idea that boys and girls should be treated the same even though they have completely different needs.
Unlike the good old days when boys who were caught fighting would be taken to the gym, issued boxing gloves, and told to duke it out, many school districts will go so far to prevent violence that they will even punish a boy who fights in self-defense, thus completely emasculating him and teaching him not to stand up for himself.
This is not to say that fighting is the answer to all of our problems, but rather to say that men are naturally more confrontational due to the high levels of testosterone coursing through our veins.
Rather than teach boys how to channel their aggressive impulses into something positive such as martial arts, boys are told that having these impulses in the first place is wrong, and that wanting to be a strong leader is oppressive towards women, while girls are given free rein to push “the future is female” propaganda. This leads to many boys simply shutting themselves up in their rooms playing violent video games to release those urges.
When you factor in that the left is also providing monetary incentive for women to become single mothers—thus creating more households without positive male role models to teach boys how to become good men—the stage is set for a select few members of society to be adversely affected with severe aggression issues and start shooting up crowds.
In Switzerland, mandatory military service teaches men how to be men. Despite having nearly half the Swiss population with a firearm in their home, Switzerland has a low incidence of violent crime—and mass shootings for that matter—compared to the U.S.

Women’s Suffrage In Switzerland


Since the last canton of Switzerland gave women the vote in the early nineties, however, laws have been passed with the aim of reducing the military presence in the country.
Ammunition for service rifles is now required to be kept at a depot rather than at home with the rifle in question, and more and more referendums are being held that want to end the tradition altogether, as well as remove the mandatory service requirement.
Only time will tell whether this tradition will remain intact, and if it doesn’t—and gun violence increases—it will prove my theory to be more than simply the deranged thoughts of a mad scientist.

10 Gun Tips You Need To Know About Flying With Guns

Posted by Tom McHale

Find me on:

 LinkedIn  Google+

on Jul 3, 2014 11:35:00 AM

how-to-fly-with-guns
Here’s a bold statement.
When you fly the friendly skies, you’ll experience more invasion of privacy, groping and unwanted scrutiny when you walk through the TSA checkpoint than when you try to check guns in your baggage.
I fly enough that the majority of currently employed TSA agents are intimately familiar with every square inch of my body. But groping aside, I’ve found checking guns by following the rules to be a simple and straightforward process – as long as you carefully follow the rules.
Be aware that there are always two sets of rules: those set by the TSA and those set by your airline. In a perfect world, they will be consistent with each other, but be aware, that doesn’t always happen.
Let’s review a checklist for hassle-free flying with guns.

Trolley1. Buy or borrow a lockable hard case.

Per the regulations, it can be a case with integrated combinations locks, but I prefer a case with multiple holes for heavy duty padlocks of my choosing. Do NOT use TSA locks on your gun case. This is a misunderstood area of the law and, technically speaking, it’s illegal for you to do so. Per the letter of the law, as discussed in the footnotes of this article, you alone must maintain possession of the keys or combination to open your gun case. You cannot lock it in such a way that others have access. By using TSA locks on your gun case, lots of people, just about anyone in fact, technically has access to your guns. TSA locks are NOT secure and not even TSA agents are supposed to have access to your case, once cleared, without you being present to unlock the case.
One more thing about cases. If you travel with a pistol, you might want to get a larger than necessary case, like this one. You can legally place other items besides your gun in the case, like cameras or computer equipment.

2. Check your airline’s website to review their policies.

While most are essentially the same, they don’t have to be. Print out the policy page to bring with you. With all that ticketing agents need to know, not every agent will have a complete understanding of their airline’s gun policy.

3. Review the TSA policy website for the latest information.

It can, and does, change. That’s your tax dollars at work folks. Print this out also, as different TSA agents have different understandings of their own policy. Really.

4. Unload your gun and magazine.

Complete this step while still at home! Check the chamber to make sure that’s empty. I like to pack my guns in the case with cylinder or action locked open so it’s very apparent the gun is in a safe condition. That’s not required, just good manners.
Shop Airline approved gun cases
 

5. Weigh your gun case and ammunition.

Most airlines will allow up to 11 pounds of ammunition. And, like any luggage, you will be charged more for any baggage weighing more than 50 pounds. This sounds like a lot, but when traveling to the Crimson Trace Midnight 3 Gun competition last year, my case with shotgun, rifle, pistol and ammunition tipped the scale past the 50 pound mark.

6. You can pack ammo in the same locking case.

This is another area that’s misunderstood and full of internet myth. Your ammo just needs to be stored in some type of safe container and not loose. Technically, you can keep ammunition in magazines, but I wouldn’t recommend it. It meets the letter of the law storage requirement, but too many airline and TSA agents will give you grief. Use a plastic ammo box or original cardboard packaging and you’ll be fine carrying that in the same lockable case as your gun.

7. Carry your gun case in the closed and locked condition into the airport until you meet the ticketing agent.

You can’t do curbside check in, so be prepared to go inside to your airline counter. When checking in, calmly tell the ticketing agent that you have a firearm to declare. It helps if you don’t yell something like “I’VE GOT A GUN!!!” Unless you live in one of the Republik states, the agent won’t even bat an eye. They deal with this all the time. The agent will tell you what do to and when. Some airports call TSA straight to the counter. Others have an airline agent escort you to a TSA checkpoint with your luggage. Just do what they say and you’ll be fine. At some point, they will have you fill out an orange declaration card and place it in your gun case.

8. Hang out and chill for a bit.

Don’t rush from the ticket counter to the gate. Once your gun case leaves your possession, there is still a chance TSA will need you to re-open the case. Most airports will tell you to wait for a bit in case they page you. The subtle message here is to always be sure to arrive at the airport plenty early if you plan to check a firearm. Time is your friend and the whole process will be a lot less stressful.

9. Make sure you bring the padlock keys in your carry on luggage.

I left mine in the car once and dropped them in my checked baggage another time. Fortunately, I figured out my error in time to correct it, else TSA would have been more than happy to cut my locks off.

10. Be prepared for surprises.

Yes, TSA might clear your gun case upon your departure. Yes, some other TSA agent may cut your locks off somewhere between your departure gate and your final destination. They’re not supposed to without a really good reason, but it happens. Again, that’s your tax dollars at work. You can yell, scream and stomp your feet, but you won’t win that battle. Accept the cost of new locks as part of doing business. On the other hand, if your guns are missing, I personally would tell the airline and destination TSA agents that I was calling the FBI immediately to report an interstate theft of firearms. That ought to get you some attention.
I’ve flown many, many times with one or more firearms and have never had a serious issue. Yes, some airports act differently, but I’ve never lost a gun or had a serious run in with the G-men.
The key is preparation and attention to detail. If you do everything right, your trip will be uneventful for both your and your guns.

Some extra footnotes

Here are a few things to be aware of that you may or may not encounter.
First, some airports, like Bend, Oregon, violate federal law. That’s a harsh statement, but it’s true, or was, the last time I traveled through there with guns. The TSA folks asked for my keys so they could inspect my gun cases in a back room, secure, TSA area. I was not allowed to accompany them. According to the Code of Federal Regulations:

Title 49: Transportation, Part 1540 – Civil Aviation Security: General Rules, Subpart B – Responsibilities of Passengers and Other Individuals and Persons, 1540.111 (c) (iv) – The container in which it is carried is locked, and only the passenger retains the key or combination.
Title 49: Transportation, Part 1544 – Aircraft Operator Security: Air Carriers and Commercial Operators,  Subpart C – Operations, 1544.203 (f) (iii) The container in which it is carried is locked, and only the individual checking the baggage retains the key or combination;

Basically, I, the owner, MUST not surrender my keys or combination to anyone. From a practical perspective, good luck with that. When fighting with the federal government over obscure details like this, you will not win in the short term. You may win in the long term, but odds are you won’t make your flight at the scheduled time. So choose your battles carefully. You can be right all day long and still not make it past the TSA checkpoint.
If you’re traveling with optics that you don’t trust to the baggage handlers, you can take those as carry on baggage. Obviously you have to remove it from your gun first! But it’s no problem carryon a scope onto the plane as long as there is no gun attached.
Avoid connecting through New York. Yes, this is another harsh statement, but too many folks have spent too many nights in jail and spent too many tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees not to mention it. If you are legally allowed to have a gun from your departure point, and legally allowed to have it at your destination, under federal law, you are supposed to be able to travel from point A to point B without interference. Unfortunately, some places, like New York, realize that they have more lawyers than you can afford, and choose to harass law abiding travelers anyway, knowing full well there’s not much you can do about it. Most times, if you have a connecting flight through New York, you’ll be fine. Your checked gun case will get moved on to the next flight and all will be well. The gotcha occurs when the travel gremlins arrive. If your flight is canceled or delayed, and you have to spend the night, now you are taking a gun from the airport baggage claim to the hotel then back to the airport again. And given ridiculous laws like the new SAFE Act, your gun is most likely illegal in New York. You may meet Officer Friendly when arriving at the airport the next morning. Welcome to the pokey and I hope you get along with your cell mate. I won’t schedule an itinerary through there for exactly this reason. It sounds far-fetched, yes, but tell that to the folks who have been arrested and harassed. Unfortunately, it happens.

I Carry A Handgun Because (2018):

12MondayMar 2018

Posted by 
 
This is a topic I last addressed on this scruffy little blog in August of 2016. In light of recent events, and the newly energized anti-liberty/Second Amendment movement, it’s time for an update.
I do not advertise the fact that I carry a concealed handgun, or that I am an instructor. However, on the occasions when this comes up, people are often amazed. Not because I am a diminutive wisp of a fellow–I’m anything but, and if I do say so myself, and I do, I’m roguishly masculine (anyway, Mrs. Manor likes me)–but because I am an English teacher and singer, and my default facial expression is a smile. The usually resulting conversation:
Friend:  “Really?  You carry a gun?”
Me:  “Yup.”
Friend: “Where?”
Me:  “Everywhere.”
Friend: “Everywhere?!”
Me: “I even carry a spear gun in the shower.”
Friend:  “No!”
Me:  “No; but everywhere else.”
Friend:  “But why?”
I usually hit on a few of the high points, issues of logic, common sense, gentle persuasion enabling those that already know me to accept a side of me previously unimagined. Employing my most frequently used weapon–the keyboard–let us, gentle readers, reason together.

One may accept moral precepts–and reason–without professing a faith, and I make no judgment about anyone’s relationship with God, or lack thereof.
I CARRY A HANDGUN BECAUSE:
* Evil exists and may confront anyone at any time and any place.
* God exists and expects me to protect myself, those I love, and those that can’t protect themselves.
* When God leads me into such situations, as He sometimes has, He expects me to be prepared, and so I am.
* Self-defense is a God-given, natural, unalienable right.
* To fail to protect God’s greatest gift, the gift of life, is inexcusable.
* My life is worth far more to me, those that love me, and to a just society than the lives of vicious criminals and terrorists.
* The lives of the innocent—friend or stranger—are worth far more to me and to a just society than the lives of vicious criminals and terrorists.
* Three times in my life I have raised my right hand and sworn a solemn oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.  I have never betrayed those oaths and never will.
* By carrying my handgun, I honor the foresight and wisdom of the Founders in writing the Second Amendment.

* The Constitution is only paper and ink, a statement of principals and intentions. When the will wavers and when some wish to change, ignore or destroy those principals and intentions for light and transient reasons, only the threat of, and if necessary, the application of the force of arms, will suffice to preserve liberty.
* Seldom in American history has a reminder of the immediacy of that threat been more obvious than during the eight years of the Obama Administration, and the threat of a Hillary Clinton Administration.
* The contemporary rush of the Democrat Party toward Socialism/Communism is also a potent reminder.
* While I’d prefer to carry a rifle or submachine gun that’s impractical.
* A handgun is the most convenient, usual and effective means of self-defense.
* Going armed reinforces and upholds the Social Contract.
* An armed society is a polite society.
* Those who lawfully carry concealed weapons are among the most law abiding.

Thomas Jefferson

* Thomas Jefferson was right: 

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

That’s why we have a Second Amendment, not for hunting, not for self-defense, but always and primarily to deter tyranny, and to allow the common man, the normals of Flyover Country, to resist and overthrow a tyrannical government.
* The Second Amendment merely recognizes the unalienable right to keep and bear arms. It does not create the right. Government does not grant the right, nor can government take it away–not that some governments care about that.
* It demonstrates, as nothing else can, that I am the master of my government, not its slave; that elected officials work for me and only with my consent.
* I am a free man and no evidence of that fact is more meaningful and convincing than that I own and carry the firearms I prefer.
* It makes those that would rule me—all of us—through tyranny, soft or hard, red with rage. It couldn’t happen to nicer people.
* It reminds them that in America, there are lines no rational, honest politician dare cross. They hate that.
* It reminds them that every iota of power they possess is on temporary loan from me and every other American. They hate that too.
* It reminds us all that the whims of the highest politician may not prevail over the Bill of Rights as long as it lives and burns brightly in the hearts of patriotic Americans and is not merely ancient ink on yellowed, fading paper.
* It is the very means by which an oppressed citizenry may force despots to respect the natural rights of honorable men and women.
*It reminds even Supreme Court Justices their pronouncements will be honored only as long as they honor the Constitution and exclusively base their decisions on its text and the intentions of the Founders.
* Politicians harboring tyrannical intentions fear armed citizens like a vampire fears a crucifix. Their hatred serves to positively identify those that would steal liberty and hide behind spin, teleprompters and clever lies.
*Semiautomatic handguns with “high-capacity magazines” are precisely the kind of firearms the Founders intended Americans to keep and bear.
*Gun grabbing politicians don’t want me to have the most effective weapons, or any weapons.
* Most politicians care about the welfare and continuing existence of individual citizens only in the abstract. Even honorable politicians can do little more than those who only pretend to care.
* Even in our democracy, tyrants are always present and always waiting their chance.

Hubert Humphrey

* With this in mind, Hubert Humphrey, one of the most famous and orthodox Democrats of the last century was right when he said: 

Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government and one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.

* Those who willingly and meekly surrender to criminals surrender more than valuables; they surrender their dignity and honor; they surrender civilization itself.
* I am old-fashioned enough to think it my duty to protect those who have less ability than mine to protect themselves.

* I could not live with myself for failing to protect women in danger. Call it sexist if you must, but if you’re unarmed and under attack, would you really think to call an unarmed, untrained statist? Would Pajama Boy save your life, or would he drink hot chocolate and talk about Obamacare?
* I know human nature.  Like the Shadow, I know what evil lurks in the hearts of men.
* I know that many criminals experience pangs of conscience.  I also know that it does not prevent them from being predators, only that it occasionally causes them to feel badly for a few fleeting seconds thereafter.
* I know that sociopaths exist, in greater numbers than most imagine, and that they have no conscience.
* Some people really like hurting others.  Rarely does one need to engage in psychological navel gazing to understand the actions of predators.  They do it because they want to do it, because they like to do it, and some, because it is an intense sexual thrill.
* Such people are everywhere, and are for most, impossible to pick out of the mass of mankind.
* Such people can be stopped only by the presence of overwhelming and imminent force: the gun.
* Living a self-imagined virtuous life is no defense against such people.
* Having a Progressive political and social philosophy not only is no defense against such people, it encourages, helps, even creates them.
* Politicians sometimes speak of a “war on crime.”  They have no idea.  The streets are the battlefield, and whether we like it or not, we are all the combatants.
* The predators that would carry that battlefield into our homes are usually the most dangerous of all. They’re willing to bet people are unarmed, and if they are, take advantage.
* The possibility of having to fend off an armed attack in a mall, theater, restaurant, or other public place has never been greater, and if statists get their way, it will become the new normal.

* Gun-free zones are actually free-fire zones for killers. Every mass shooting for decades has taken place in a “gun-free” zone. This is no coincidence.
* Anti-gun statists know this, but feeling good about their superior morality in establishing such zones is far more important to them than the lives of the little people like you and me.
* The police have no legal obligation to protect me—or anyone.
* The police simply can’t protect anyone; there are far too few of them and far too many of us.
* When seconds count, the police are always minutes (or in Detroit and many other places, an hour) away.
* I accept personal responsibility and live accordingly.
* As an adult, I am solely responsible for my continuing existence.
* Accepting personal responsibility encourages me to be continually aware of my surroundings.
* Having situational awareness means it is more likely I won’t ever need to use my handgun.
* My training and experience give me confidence that if I do need it, I will use it effectively and properly, though I will still pray to God to make me fast and accurate.
* It gives me the ability to deter those younger, stronger or more numerous than myself.
* It gives me the ability to defeat those younger, stronger or more numerous than myself if they are too stupid, too drugged, or too predatory to be deterred.
* Criminals fear the guns of armed citizens far more than the guns of the police. They should.
* Domestic terrorists and murderers have always been with us.  The victims and survivors of Columbine High School (1999), Virginia Tech (2007), Sandy Hook Elementary School (2012), the Boston Marathon attack (2013), the Pulse Nightclub attacks (2016), the Las Vegas Attack (2017) and the Parkland attack (2018)—and I–have no doubt of this.
* In virtually every school shooting in recent American history, the police played virtually no role in stopping the killers. In some, Armed citizens did. 
* We are at war with uniquely deranged, blood-thirsty terrorists determined to slaughter Americans on American soil. The citizens of Orlando, and many other American cities now have no doubt about this.
* As ISIS and other terrorists are destroyed on the battlefield and their influence shrinks, they will be much more likely to focus on where we are most vulnerable.
* I frequent the places (schools, theaters, shopping malls, grocery stores and other soft targets) terrorists long to attack (go here for a fictional account of a school attack).

* I can imagine few feelings worse than being unarmed when and where a terrorist or mass shooter attack takes place.
* Even unarmed, I would have no option but to attack killers shooting innocents.
* Armed, I would be able to save at least some lives and stop at least some killers.
* I could not bear the thought that I could have saved lives, but was prevented by virtue signaling politicians and other fools.
* It is important to me to know that I can make a real difference when it most matters.
* I appreciate well-designed and made devices.
* Firearms are like fire extinguishers.  When one is needed, it’s needed right now, badly, and nothing else will do.
* The discipline of the gun helps to make me a better, more aware and more effective person.
* Thomas Jefferson was also right when, in 1785, he advised his 15 year old nephew and ward:

A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind.

* Shooting and being a part of one of the oldest American traditions is uplifting and simply fun.
* I recognize that I am the weapon; the handgun is simply a tool.
* Foremost, I am an American; I am a free man; it is my tradition and heritage.

Why do I think that this could be true today?
