Excerpt from Nation of Cowards By Jeff Snyder      If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?      A weapon that really sends shivers down a rapist's spine, the portable cellular phone.      Law enforcement continues to advise not to resist an attacker, give him what he wants. Crime is rampant because the law abiding condones, encourages, permits and submits to it because we do not fight back immediately when it happens. Crime is rampant because the defect is in our character.      One who values his life takes his responsibilities and to his family to possess the means of fighting back and not be content to rely solely on others for his safety.      We must carry arms because we value our lives and do not live at the pleasure of the lawless. Criminals have no respect for our lives when we ourselves do not value our lives enough to assume the responsibility to defend them.      To own a firearm is to affirm that freedom and liberty are not gifts from the state.      Implicit in calls for the repeal of the Second Amendment is the assumption that our First Amendment rights are sufficient to preserve our liberty.      One who believes it wrong to arm himself against criminal violence shows contempt of God's gift of life and does not properly value himself or live up to his responsibilities to his family and becomes an accomplice of violent criminal acts by others.      Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people.      "You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands." While liberals take this statement as evidence that gun owners are violent in nature we hope that liberals hold equally strong sentiments about their printing presses, word processors and television.      We are often warned about taking the law into our own hands but we live under a government of laws. We all take the law into our own hands, we all act in accordance with and carry out the law. The police are not the law, and we are not the law... so , what's the basis for the privileged status of the police? Why are we told that we cannot do things that they can?      A people who will renounce the responsibility to defend their own lives-arguably the most fundamental of all responsibilities- and the right to possess and use the means necessary to fulfill that responsibility, have by that very act declared and proved themselves to be irresponsible, fundamentally irresponsible, and thereby justify their treatment by the government as suspect, as people whose worthiness and qualification for rights and privileges must be tested and assured before granted by government.      If a people will renounce, and cede to their government the very responsibility to protect their own lives, and by extension, those of their loved ones, and the right to own and use the means necessary to fulfill that obligation, then there is nothing, nothing, that they will not cede to the government.   More Important Gun Articles HERE
