Why Grandpa Carries A Gun

The quintessential reason why Grandpa carries a gun. ·             Please take time to read this and pay particular attention     to  "A Little Gun History" about half way down - staggering numbers! Why Carry a Gun? My old Grandpa said to me, 'Son, there comes a time in   every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts  bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to   take a whoopin'.' I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep   from being killed. I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because   I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World. I don't carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government. I don't carry a gun because I'm angry; I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared. I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I   carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.          I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves   and the ones they love. I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate. I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because   I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must   protect themselves because police do not protect you   from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess. Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'! A LITTLE GUN HISTORY ·             PLEASE  DON'T  THINK  FOR  A  MOMENT,  THAT       THIS  COULDN'T HAPPEN  IN  OUR  COUNTRY  ALSO !!!!!! ·             In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: ·             From 1929 to 1953,  about 20 million dissidents,   unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- In 1911, Turkey established gun control: ·             From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Germany established gun control in 1938: ·             From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were   unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- China established gun control in 1935: From 1948 to ·           1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Guatemala established gun control in 1964: ·         From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend    themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Uganda  established gun control in 1970: ·             From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated. ----------------------- Cambodia established gun control in 1956: ·             From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.    ----------------------- 56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control.    -----------------------You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. ·             Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'. During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade     America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!      ·             Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in   the World! ·          If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun   control message to all of your friends. ·          The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible   victory in defense. ·             The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.   ·          SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY   HOUSEHOLD!  SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT   ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE. ·             SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! ·             IT'S A NO BRAINER! DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT      WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN    EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS     AN EASY TARGET. ·             I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment! If you are too, please forward this. If you're not a believer, please reconsider the true facts. This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.
