It Is Okay To Cut Your Wife's

A Smart Man Only Believes Half Of What He Hears, A Wise Man Knows Which Half.

In The Larger Sense, However, The Personal Ownership Of Firearms Is Only Secondarily A Matter Of Defense Against The Criminal. Note The Following From Thomas Jefferson: The Strongest Reason For The People To Keep And Bear Arms Is, As A Last Resort, To Protect Themselves Against The Tyranny Of Government. That Is Why Our Masters In Washington Are So Anxious To Disarm Us. They Are Not Afraid Of Criminals. They Are Afraid Of A Populace Which Cannot Be Subdued By Tyrants.

One Bleeding-heart Type Asked Me In A Recent Interview If I Did Not Agree That 'violence Begets Violence.' I Told Him That It Is My Earnest Endeavor To See That It Does. I Would Like Very Much To Ensure - And In Some Cases I Have - That Any Man Who Offers Violence To His Fellow Citizen Begets A Whole Lot More In Return Than He Can Enjoy.

What Are We Going To Do If Citizens Are Disarmed, And The Government Doesn't Obey Its Own Laws?

I Am Sometimes Perplexed By People Who Refer To Defensive Rifles, Or Defensive Rifle Shooting. The Defensive Arm Is The Pistol, Since You Have It At Hand To Meet Situations That You Do Not Anticipate. If You Have The Luxury Of Anticipating A Lethal Encounter, You Pick Up A Long Arm, Either A Rifle Or A Shotgun, But In That Case You Go On To The Attack. Thus Rifle Shooting Is Offensive, And Pistol Shooting Is Defensive. Of Course, Life Does Not Always Duplicate Theory, And There Are Exceptions To Everything, But Nevertheless The Rifle Is Not A Defensive Weapon In Concept.
