Quote of the day—Defens

Liberal anti-gunners look at the mass shooter and say “Oh that’s so awful, I don’t want to be like him.”

Pro-rights citizens look at the shooter’s victims and say, “Oh that’s so awful, I don’t want to be like him!”

[This rings true and there is considerable evidence to support this hypothesis.

This is also tends support for my claim that these people are inherently violent. They apparently believe others are similarly afflicted and the primary result of guns in a society is to enable this criminal violence. This is my “generous” view of their psychology.

When I am less generous, I tend to believe they are evil and they make up these excuses to justify making their victims defenseless.—Joe]

  1. Being defenseless before humans as always lead to the same place. Like being a frog a group of twelve year old boys found. Or a human under a tyrant.
    It always ends badly for the defenseless.
    Always.
    We need not assign motive to those clamoring for defenselessness. Only the level at which they participated in bringing it about.
    One may honestly not know that drinking and driving could end in someone else’s death. But should that matter at their trial?

  2. “my claim that these people are inherently violent”

    and they assume everyone else is too.

  3. The psychology behind mass violence and murder is complicated. Not something amenable to catch phrases. What isn’t open to debate is these types have an affinity for locations where they can be assured of unarmed resistance. Thus it’s best to always be armed. Regardless of what the criminals in power tell you to do.

    • Quote: “What isn’t open to debate is these types have an affinity for locations where they can be assured of unarmed resistance.”

      I’m a former Marine Corps infantry officer. I also live in a pretty common type of middle class neighborhood near Houston.

      Property crime is not common here. But it happens.

      And, it mostly happens to those whose home’s appearance suggests that little attention has been paid to security, both electronic (cameras, lights and membership in an offsite security monitoring service…think ADT & SimpliSafe) and/or physical (properly maintained fencing all around the property to include wood and iron fencing, properly maintained front and side yards, evening and night time garage storage of vehicles, etc.).

      My family observes all of above mentioned precautions. But we add one more, apparently crucial element to the front face of our home, flags.

      On the brick face near the front door (BTW the door area is enclosed in iron fencing) we display (properly display as I’m former military) the U.S. flag, the state of Texas flag and the Marine Corps crimson and gold standard.

      Again, referring to the previous poster’s remark, “Quote: “What isn’t open to debate is these types have an affinity for locations where they can be assured of unarmed resistance.”…

      Anyone seeing that display cannot be of any doubt that the residents are very likely to be armed and very likely to absolutely know how to effectively and lethally use arms.

      There were a couple of instances in the neighborhood where elderly residents, particularly elderly widows, had their homes broken into more than once while they were out. I offered (offer accepted thrice) to install for free on the front edifice of their homes the same three-flag display that graces the front of mine.

      Neither my home, the homes of other former Marines in the neighborhood nor the homes of those who accepted my offer have had any break-ins, burglaries, vandalism or other crimes committed on their property since. And, it’s been more than a decade since those installations.

      Again, coo-dos to the gentleman who wrote: “What isn’t open to debate is these types (i.e., criminals) have an affinity for locations where they can be assured of unarmed resistance.”
