The Bad Guys Just Won't Show Their Colors

When Paul Helmke, of the Brady Organization, keeps harping on that old saw that we need more gun control laws he mentions how horrible it is when law abiding citizens carry handguns, concealed or openly in public. What Paul fails to mention is the crime rate at these functions. Let me mention it for him, ZERO.

What Paul also fails to mention is the fact that he, and the Brady Organization are not in the least interested in more laws to control crime. That's a red herring for their real purpose which is the eventual elimination of private handgun ownership in the United States.

Now, Paul, the Bradys and others of their ilk are pretty sneaky. They hide behind the tried and true flag of "we're doing it for the children" or some other such garbage. Truth be known, they'd eliminate the Second Amendment with the flick of a switch today if given the chance. But, they can't, so they hide, like a bunch of (what used to be called) bushwackers. They wait for an opportune moment and then they strike. They use other people's misery to promote more misery and pain.

They give not a wit if women are raped, robbed and murdered and can't defend themselves. After all, it's for the better good. Just ask him if he'd rather have one college student, in a class, with the means to defend him/herself against a deranged killer or have the entire class murdered. See what kind of response you get.

I know what the response will be because I asked a police chief that exact question. His response: "We'd rather have them killed than risk a shootout". My response to him was, "you are a disgrace to the badge and uniform you wear".

There is a light in this tunnel. That light is common sense. The regular folks are seeing it every day. They are coming to realize more and more that their safety rests solely with them. That the police will be the last to show up.

The next time the Brady Organization or a politician starts speaking, ask them why don't you support my right to self defense and why are you making it more difficult for ME to defend myself?
