taking a stand

For much of my life I kept my political beliefs to myself, with the exception of a few friends and family that had to listen to my diatribes. Afraid of what others might think of my beliefs, afraid of what they would think of me, how it would make me look. Recently I have come to understand I cannot do that. I won't do that anymore. I don't have radical views, I believe in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We have to hear those political figures that are supposed to speak for us, when they speak in whatever way will be the most beneficial to themselves.


I can see that we are being turned into sheep just waiting for the wolves to pick us off one by one. Being a victim is not part of my psyche. Being a sheepdog and not a sheep is what I am, who I am and who I have always been. Unfortunately the government is trying to remove the teeth of the guardians. While at the same time they make the sheep look even more tasty and helpless. The wolves work in packs, they have sharp, numerous teeth. They had been told that teeth were no longer allowed but they are wolves, they do not care what the powers that be tell them. They laugh because they know that even if they are caught, that the penalties for killing and feasting on sheep are so weak that they hold no fear for them.

People need to get a grasp on the situation we are facing. Criminals have guns. They do not go to gun shows to buy them, they don't go to the local gun shop to buy them, they steal them, they buy them on the street. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT GUN LAWS BECAUSE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT ANY LAWS, THAT IS WHY THEY ARE CRIMINALS. What part of that can the anti-gun people not understand. I don't care if you like guns, hate guns or don't care either way. When a criminal has a knife or gun to your throat, or is raping your daughter I think you would be willing to have one in your hands. If not then I pity you and even more, your family. It only takes ONE incident to change someones mind, the one time they or their family are the victim of a criminal that wants to take what is yours, your car, your TV are the obvious things that they can take, but how about your families innocence, their right to feel safe in their home, or most importantly your life. I, for one, am not willing to give up those things just because some politician who has paid bodyguards decide that the second amendment does not apply to me.
