“We carried our weapons with us at all times, even when we went for water” Nehemiah, Chapter 4, Verse 23
Personal Safety!
Lies pertaining to personal safety are regularly repeated by media-endorsed “experts.” These myths are all agenda-driven in an effort on the part of “progressive” politicians and their media mouthpieces to convince citizens that the exponentially-expanding wave of violent crime that is happening right in front of us is all in our imagination.
Examples:
1) State-sanctioned/assisted distribution and use of illegal drugs, elimination of bail, elimination of incarceration, unenthusiastic prosecution, unenthusiastic/de-funded policing, “legalization” of theft, vandalism, squatting, and other (former) offenses all combine to “reduce crime.”
Ask beleaguered residents of San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Atlanta, and NYC about this promised but ever-illusory “crime reduction.”
2) All guns must be banned from legal possession by “average citizens.” This will reduce “gun violence.”
To suggest that disarmed citizens can somehow defend themselves successively, using “environmental weapons” or “empty hands,” from armed and violent felons (who don’t comply with naive gun bans) is an insult to the our intelligence, particularly when politicians cynically exempt themselves from obeying their own laws.
3) Give violent criminals “anything they want.” Never resist.
What do I do when what they “want” is to harm me and my family?
Curious that liberals never have an answer to that question.
4) When confronted by armed criminals, simply run to a nearby “gun-free zone.” There you’ll find CCTV, monitored (at least occasionally) by unarmed “security staff.”
Suggesting that, in such a case, some “security person” will “miraculously materialize” and protect me from harm, is the stuff of fairy tales. Asking me to bet my life on it is an affront.
As a nation, we are witnessing an unholy alliance that weakens all that is good and decent and empowers all that is bad and sleazy, and it is all by design.
Money and distance, so often a “shield” for the comfortable, can only insulate for a limited time, as many among the well-to-do are unhappily discovering.
Ready or not, a “bad neighborhood” is coming to a place near you!

Exactly what I’ve been saying for many years now. Esp. the part about it being; “all by design”. All part and parcel of the same plan. It’s all a part of the ‘Progressive’/Marxist/Communist agenda, and it’s far older than anyone currently alive.
Amen John,
A s___storm is coming because of failed policies by politicians.
Their lack of common sense will get people killed and only our ability to defend ourselves will save us.
Banning legal possession of firearms by average citizens may reduce gun violence. I also have a bow; good luck finding that with shot spotter. Now I am working on a balearic sling. Try to ban slings and rocks.
The writer forgot about the “wish” part. Fervently “wish” the violence wasn’t happening to you, and if your wish is granted, the perp will just vanish. This goes hand-in-glove with the idea of equal wealth for everybody, and equal outcomes for all will grant us all access to the paradise of a perfect socialist state. This is all known by intelligent people as “fantasy thinking” and is a major part of the Progressive agenda.
That is the reason some of my guns are not acquired from a licensed dealer!!
Nobody knows about them……..
In example 1 – (All good points) – you forgot one VERY IMPORTANT POINT.
CRIMINALIZATION OF SELF DEFENSE!!!
YOU are your own first responder. YOU are responsible for your life and welfare. Carry 24/7/365, +1 on leap year. The cops are not legally required to physically aid the people. That is how that coward, “school resource officer”, who had a badge, a phone, a radio and a gun, at the Parkland High School shooting got away with it. So much for trusting the cops. I am my own first responder. The last time I actually had to call 911, it took them 26 minuets to respond. In situations when seconds, sometimes tenths of seconds, mean the difference between… Read more »
Give violent criminals what they want? Seems like what they want is a case of high speed lead poisoning

“To suggest that disarmed citizens can somehow defend themselves successively,…”
I believe you intended to say “successfully,” since “successively” would mean several times in sequence. Hopefully, things aren’t that bad, ecen in San Francisco.
