Those bureaucrats working feverishly to deprive us of our second amendment liberties have armed security forces to protect  them and their loved ones as do Hollywood celebrities pushing the same meme.

For those who do not have armed security, are willing to part with their firearms and/or deprive others of theirs:

How much do you value your life?

Modern America has a strong pacifist streak that originated among some of our Christian denominations and spread to non-religious people, most notably during the 1960s.  It is now associated with the liberal side of the political spectrum and with those who support strict gun control.

It is easy to find people who say they would never use potentially lethal force against another person, even to save their own lives from a criminal assault.  Under this principle, the life of a violent sociopath is more valuable than theirs.  Each person has the right to place a value on their own life, so it may seem difficult to argue against this way of thinking.  But let’s pose some serious questions and see where this line of reasoning takes us.

Do you have an obligation to your loved ones?

If you won’t save your own life by using lethal force, what about your spouse, children or co-workers?   If you allow yourself to be killed by a violent attacker, what…

Progressive policies, urban decay, increased crime all are a threat to every American. We must look out for our families and ourselves.

Law enforcement agencies across the country have been disempowered, budget cuts and lack the manpower to respond to crime and other emergencies in a timely fashion. Thus, we are the first responders and the way things are going in this country, we had better darned well be prepared for what is coming.

The Economic Collapse by Michael Snyder

All over America, rates of violent crime are absolutely soaring. As you will see below, violent crime overall shot up by 20 percent in Los Angeles last year, and the police are telling people that “they need to be able to protect themselves” because the police may not be able to get there in time when they call. Thanks to deep budget cuts, police departments across the nation are already severely undermanned, and our major cities are now seeing crime rates increase at a pace that we have not seen in ages. In a previous article, I encouraged my readers to focus on the five basics of preparation – food, water, shelter, energy and self-defense. Of those five, it is often self-defense that is the most neglected. When bad people break into your house in the middle of the night intending to do bad things, what are you going to do? Many of us have not had to think about that for a long time, but now conditions are rapidly changing in America.

If you don’t believe me, perhaps you will believe the head of the union for the LAPD. According to him, people living in L.A. “need to be able to protect themselves” because the police “can’t guarantee we’re going to get there in time to help you”…

“The citizens need to know they need to be able to protect themselves because if they call 911, we can’t guarantee we’re going to get there in time to help you,” says Police Protective League President Jamie McBride.

He told Paige that Thursday morning between 5:30 and 10 a.m., there were just three patrol cars assigned to the West LA division. Two cars to protect more than 200,000 people in a 65 square mile radius.

“West Los Angeles, at the minimum, should have seven patrol units, two-man units working,” McBride said.”

Have you ever been to Los Angeles?

I have, and even in the best of times it can be quite a mean place.

And of course these are not the best of times. In fact, the overall rate of violent crime in the city was up by 20 percent last year […]

Tell Me Now

…Originally posted on MadWorldNews, the video shows the girl walking into an elevator alone and standing by the floor buttons waiting for her floor to come up. The elevator stops and the man boards it, then lurks in the corner without ever pressing a floor button or anything.

When the doors open the man tries to make his move, but she had quite the surprise for him and immediately pounced and took him to the ground. She proceeded to beat on him until the elevator stopped again and the doors opened, at which point she yanked him back in for more…

While the authentication of what is in the video has yet to be verified, the message is clear.  Parents: With so many predators lurking about, if you cannot afford ballet and karate for your daughters, seriously consider springing for the latter.
