Recently I was watching a new-talk TV show and the anchor was questioning an woman in Atlanta, Ga who was attacked while getting into her car. She was beaten and traumatized and was recounting how this beast grabbed her as she was walking to her car. The struggle lasted a few minutes and the victim had the presence of mind to kick, scream and yell. As I have said in the past, your first line of defense is just that. The perp was masked but when a neighbor heard the commotion, he must have removed the mask. Brilliant move on his part. I imagine he thought he would be unidentifiable without the mask, since he attacked the victim with one on, duh. Of course the crime proves that most of these jerks haven’t the brains to wipe their own noses. This was a daytime grab in a quiet nice neighborhood. It had to be nice because a neighbor actually showed their face and even gave a description of the SOB to the cops. Let me say that without any defensive weaponry, the screaming, biting, scratching and kicking, probably saved her life.
It matters not where you live, a government that promulgates laws that imposes sanctions against you to not use a stun gun or pepper spray is problematic to say the least.
That said, lets examine the rational of many beureaucrats.
A beureaucrat is a haughty, arbitrary, unelected, minor yet locally powerful government functionary whose unreasonable decisions cannot be appealed, as opposed to bureaucrats who sometimes do good things while serving the freedoms that we have fought for and defend daily.
Governments that provide much to its citizens are governments that want total control over the freedoms I mentioned earlier. They have to have that power in order to subjugate you. Your feeding at the trough gives them your votes to continue this blasphemy against our God given rights to freedom and liberty. Defense of ourselves and our loved ones is an inalienable right of the people. We probably can’t defend the country like the armed forces, but we see that auxillaries can provide some risistance to criminals. Even with that said, you must defend yourselves against the mugger, the vandal or the murderer. Cops can only do so much. It takes time for the 911 call to be responded to and then dispatching a car.
Protection in the forms of non-lethal weaponry is still available. Lethal firearms are besieged by government and civilian do-gooders who hate guns. If the citizenry has firepower, then government can’t control them. The beureaucrats and the civilian lackeys will do anything to take control. Passing dumb laws that hog-tie industry through bills that schelch enterprize is probably the best example of this.
Unfortunately businesses that provide the manufacture of guns and bullets must meet EPA standards and these standards can easily end those businesses. Someone recently asked me if I had invested in precious metals, he didn’t mean gold and silver he meant lead and brass. That’s right, there is a shortage of bullets out there.
defense. It appears that Marissa Alexander, mom of three fired a warning shot into the ceiling of her home, when allegedly being attacked by an abusive husband. The Court denied the “Stand your Ground” motion presented by her attorney. The Court said that because there where children in the home that the discharge constituted aggravated battery. Since there where three kids that’s three counts. Whether you agree or disagree with the findings is not important. What is important is that lethal weapons are a pariah. The second amendment gives us all the right to bear arms, but Courts interpret laws differently. In the case of Ms.Alexander, the costs of this action are yet to be seen. The law for the aggravated battery decision authorizes a twenty year prison sentence.
