A culture of entrenched cowardice
Easily one of the best I've read on the subject.

From the OP's article..
We have a well known, easily understood set of facts regarding mass shootings. We know, without question, that a mass murderer who faces no resistance will kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. We know most mass shooters will keep killing until they’re forced to stop. We know police won’t respond in time. And yet, some people take that set of facts and conclude that no private citizen should act to defend themselves.
I am not a lawyer. This is NOT legal advice.!

Here is another one by the same author.

http://chrishernandezauthor.com/2013/02 ... ns-of-war/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.I have a message for my pro-2nd Amendment friends: guys, we don’t have to pretend our ARs aren’t military weapons.

Re: A culture of entrenched cowardice
And another one.
The people who are pushing new gun control laws seem to think they understand weapons and lethal force encounters. They don’t. One of them thinks someone armed with a double-barrel shotgun is better off than someone armed with an AR-15, even if the person with the AR knows how to use it. One of them thinks people have been shot with unloaded guns. One of them thinks women can’t use an AR-15, even though women in the military have been using M-16s and M4s for decades. The same person didn’t know the difference between a barrel shroud and a folding stock. Some in the media think a rifle’s sling swivel is used to mount a bayonet and fire grenades. Some of them pay $200 for an expended anti-tank rocket launcher tube, which can’t be reloaded and is nothing more than a piece of fiberglass, proudly hold it over their heads at press conferences and proclaim they’ve protected the public from a “weapon of war”. They think cops who have body armor and backup need high capacity magazines, but private citizens without those things only need seven rounds.
http://chrishernandezauthor.com/2013/01 ... en-rounds/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;And most of all, remember that many people who say nobody needs more than seven rounds don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.

Re: A culture of entrenched cowardice
I often wonder how people can have no sense of self preservation. Worse yet, if a loved one of theirs is threatened and killed through their inaction and cowardice, how do they live with themselves after that? No thanks, I carry for a reason and I am fully prepared to do what is necessary.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Re: A culture of entrenched cowardice
There argument is flacid...
The Secong Amendment is NOT about hunting, sporting, target shooting, or dare I say (gasp) even self-defense...Bear with me...See it thru...Wait for it...
The very weapons we choose to protect our ownership/use of is exactly for the stated purpose of discouraging a tyrannical government from removing the one INDIVIDUAL means of really defeating them when they get a little too ambitious...
There, now we can move on...If they want them bad enough, they can certainly try...My money is on our side and our numbers...They will certainly never be that unhappy ever again...
