Discussing guns- why you
must always be prepared for anything
People often ask why I'm such a staunch advocate for gun rights,
why I believe so strongly in the 2nd Amendment, and why I close my preparedness
letters to you with the words, "store ammo and guns."
[[Like thousands of others, the Poor Man served our nation to protect our rights from enemies both foreign and domestic and that includes our 2nd Amendment]
The easy answer is that looting, gangs, large mobs, home invasions
and even usually innocuous situations like traffic jams put innocent people in
dangerous situations. Without warning, individuals and families can easily and
all-to-quickly find themselves surrounded, or in a dangerous spot.
A gun is an equalizer.
Martin Luther King Jr., upon whose Bible President Obama swore to
uphold the Constitution, agreed. He reportedly kept an arsenal of firearms in
his home to ease his mind about the near constant death threats that he
received. The peace-promoting civil rights leader even applied for an Alabama
concealed carry permit, but was denied due to racism on the part of the police
that had the authority to issue the permit.
Even a so-called pacifist like King knew that when people have no
arms, they have no security and no hope of security.
The anti-gun crowd doesn't care.
They continually try to foist all kinds of specious
"research" on us, stating that guns in the home are supremely
dangerous (so are household chemical cleaners and pesticides). And they use
their adjuncts in the lamestream media to insist that there are often
"mass shootings" in the U.S.
The truth is that despite the shootings in California and Buffalo
recently, these incidents are mostly either murders (tragic, but not "mass
shootings"), gang-related shootings, or arguments in public places gone
wrong. This is the case with the Houston flea market shootings, which you may
not have heard of because it doesn't fit the media's narrative, no bystanders
were injured, and the sheriff's office emphasized that the shooting was
"not a random act of violence."
Actual statistics on gun deaths in America are hard to pin down
because there is no central source or common methodology for tracking them.
Also, the numbers published by various sources sometimes tend to be skewed (or
outright manipulated) to reflect the point of view of the source regarding
guns.
However, in 2019, the latest year we have statistics for, The
FBI's "Crime In the United States" reports tells us that rifles —
including ones like the "scary" Bushmaster XM-15 rifle used in
Buffalo that gun grabbers are constantly trying to ban — were used to commit
364 murders.
Hands and feet were used in 687 murders.
A ban on hands and feet would be far more effective in reducing
homicides than would banning any gun.
This is only one piece of statistical evidence that shows us why
it is critical that we know the real facts and stand at the ready to set the
record straight in any discussions we are party to where the misinformation and
disinformation gushing from liberal politicians and media wonks takes center
stage.
Gun hysteria
Despite any evidence contrary to their beliefs, the anti-gun crowd
wants you to believe "mass" shootings are committed because guns are
available, and because of the weapon used. Anti-gunners desperately want you to
think that there aren't enough gun laws and that we need more bans on more
weapons because "weapons of war" are being used to kill masses of
people.
President Biden and his gun-grabbing followers call every weapon
that isn't a handgun an "assault" weapon, as is the case with the
recent Buffalo shooting. But as I mentioned earlier, those tragic murders were
perpetrated with a Bushmaster XM-15. It's not an assault weapon, and not a
weapon of war. It isn't even automatic. It's a rifle, tragically used for a
terrible purpose, but not because it's a rifle. The murders occurred because of
the perpetrator.
The media piles on by managing the message to create the illusion
that what "the people" want is more gun bans. Take a look at this interview by CNN. Notice the video cuts
video off after he says "But it is a shame, something needs to happen,
'cause this is ridiculous" leading the viewer to think that he means we
need to ban guns. This video from Fox
News shows
the actual interview continues, as the man adds that there need to be more
armed good guys who "know what they're doing" with a gun.
'Need' for guns
A key statistic to know about gun deaths, in general, is that most
of them are not murders, but suicides. Dr. Scott Bonn wrote in Psychology Today that there are now
nearly three suicides for every murder in America. Many of the suicide deaths
are attributed to the use of anti-depressants (and as I have written to you
before, many of the "mass shootings" are also committed by young
people who are taking prescription medication).
The Buffalo shooter had been sent for mental health treatment the
year before after threatening to shoot up his high school. Is the failure a
lack of gun laws? That we don't "need" guns? Is our Constitution
flawed? Or is the way America treats mental health flawed?
It is critical to remember that the 2nd Amendment was not included
in the Bill of Rights to only ensure Americans could defend themselves against
criminals, so the argument that we "don't need" guns is a non
sequitur.
There will be a renewed push by the Left to create more anti-gun
laws that will also not stop these random and infrequent mass shootings. For
the gun-grabbers, if one law is in place to prevent a thing and the thing
occurs anyway, two more, three more, six more will certainly do the trick.
This is the way liberty is lost, one law at a time. And then, one
day, a once-free nation finds itself in bondage. When the state has "a
monopoly on legitimate violence," as Congressweasel Jerrold Nadler of New
York once claimed it does, Americans
are no longer citizens; they are subjects.
Americans will not become subjects. With hundreds of millions of
guns in American homes, a gun-free future is not going to happen; if it is
forced, a bloody and unwarranted fight is likely in the cards.
Still, we supporters of 2nd Amendment rights must not, under any
circumstances, let our guard down. We must remain vigilant to repel the
attempts by Biden and his horde to take away our guns or, barring that, to take
away our ammunition to render our guns useless. Also:
- You can
become a member of a pro-gun organization like Gun Rights for America.
What about the NRA? Well… that Alabama permit law under which MLK was
denied? It had been an NRA-backed initiative.
- Learn
about District
of Columbia vs. Heller and your right to bear arms.
- Keep
tabs on your state's gun laws with this
state directory.
- Monitor
lawmaker activities, not only in Congress but at your state and local
levels as well. Attend the town hall meetings and speak up.
- Buy a
gun, get trained in its use and practice, practice, practice. Have a spare
magazine handy. Don't be a helpless victim.
- Check
out the list of
gun laws, alphabetically by state so that you know everything you need for
purchase.
- If you
need a conceal-carry license, go here
for one that works in multiple states.
- Support
candidates who vow to stand up for gun rights.
- Participate
in social media discussions on gun control in rational terms with proof
from crime statistics databases like the FBI's (Read the
reports and
you'll see that gun violence is going down, not up).
In years gone by that many people reloaded spent ammunition. This
would be a great opportunity for you if you would like to learn a secondary
trade for a post-collapse society, or if the gun-grabbers succeed in making
ammunition difficult to buy.
Make no mistake about it: the ultimate goal of the gun control
gang is not to limit gun ownership to law-abiding citizens but to eliminate the
presence of guns in citizens' hands entirely.
Yours for the truth,

Serious predicaments and unserious leaders mean it’s time to prepare.
There’s more and more signs that we’ve reached the end of our prosperous

People are on edge and with good reason. We are possibly looking at a repeat of 2020 with riots, violence and physical destruction, all potentially tied to the November elections as an end result.

Natural
disasters don't wait for a convenient time
And you shouldn't wait to prepare either. In some cases there is
little to no warning.
Prepare now to lessen the impact of disasters and emergencies
Remember: You can’t buy life insurance after you’re dead!
When you think about packing up items to help you survive a
natural or human-made disaster, you often think of backpacks. And there is good
reason.
Backpacks are sturdy, lightweight, and with multiple pouches and
pockets, they allow you to stow a large number of essentials. They come in
expandable widths and sizes to fit even your smallest family members. And the
best part is that your hands remain free with a backpack.
