Sociopaths Are The Pathogens And Guns Are The Antibiotic
Is There A Correlation Between Healthcare And The Right To Self Defense?
Yes, all it takes is a little prevention.

Virginia – -(AmmoLand.com)- At the last GRPC I attended in Northern Virginia, I had an interesting conversation with Alan Korwin and Jeffrey Snyder. Alan was talking about anti-gun doctors who like to refer to guns as pathogens and gun violence as a disease.
I responded by suggesting we re-frame the argument as follows: the SOCIOPATHS are the pathogens and GUNS are the antibiotic.
Alan laughed really hard and said he really liked that analogy and that he would use it in the future. I think Jeffrey liked that, too.
Since then, I’ve thought about armed self-defense as more analogous to a vaccination.
A vaccination will inoculate you against the flu; it won’t necessary PREVENT you from getting the flu, but if you do, at least you have a fighting chance of surviving the illness.
Similarly, having a loaded gun with you as you travel about in public won’t necessarily prevent you from becoming a victim of criminal attack, but at least it gives you a fighting chance of surviving the attack.
In some rare instances, getting a vaccine can kill you. Even so, the ‘experts’ recommend most everyone get a vaccine.
Likewise, in some rare instances, having a gun with you can get you killed. Here, however, those same ‘experts’ are apparently not as willing to recommend that everyone get and carry a gun.
Still, on balance, the facts bear out the following: Vaccines save lives. Guns save lives.
Thus, Self-Defense is simply good, common-sense Preventative Medicine!
