“a conservative is a liberal who has been mugged.”
Click to read PDF of “Raging Against Self Defense” by Sarah Thompson, MD, an excellent article in favor of gun ownership. Written by a psychiatrist, it clearly explains, among other things, why adamant anti-gun folks just might be suffering from a little bit of mental illness….
Excerpt:
“You don’t need to have a gun; the police will protect you.”
“If people carry guns, there will be murders over parking spaces and neighborhood
basketball games.”
“I’m a pacifist. Enlightened, spiritually aware people shouldn’t own guns.”
“I’d rather be raped than have some redneck militia type try to rescue me.”
How often have you heard these statements from misguided advocates of victim
disarmament, or even woefully uninformed relatives and neighbors? Why do people
cling so tightly to these beliefs, in the face of incontrovertible evidence that they are
wrong? Why do they get so furiously angry when gun owners point out that their
arguments are factually and logically incorrect?

I love all the posts about guns and the logic behind gun ownership!

Excellent.
Few do.
