#1 Amazing that we have to introduce a bill to have this right. The 2nd Amendment tells me everything I need to know....

#2 As George Will once wrote, "call for the police, an ambulance, and a pizza. See who gets there first." Hint: it won't be the police. Anyone who DOESN'T have firearms to protect their person, family and property is a damned fool.

Most here on RB know this but if there are any still unconvinced out there, ask any rank and file policeman whether he thinks you should have a firearm to protect yourself. Anyone thinking the answer will be "No" is in for an interesting experience.

If he gives you an honest answer, which most will, he'll tell you that anyone depending on the police to protect them is placing their faith in an extraordinarily weak reed. The police generally come after the fact, take records, and try to catch the perpetrator; it's a lucky accident if they happen to protect you from a crime while it's happening.

As Kipling noted, The Gods of the Copybook Headings are alive and well out there and teaching the same old lesson: prepare to take care of you and yours yourself because no one else rates that obligation nearly as highly as you do. As ever with their teachings, people fail to heed them at their serious peril.
