So many Americans are against freedom. The media as a group are almost violent in their detestation of personal freedom preferring instead rules, regulations, laws designed to guide people in what they should do. You can tell the people-haters when there is a special kind of crime that involves not murder which you would think people are against, but a crime committed by a criminal with a gun, which people are trained to oppose more than their own life. The great thing about guns is that a culture must be free before anyone can have a gun. Freedom comes before guns. No guns in a culture means the people are not able to be trusted with a gun. That’s a marker of a tyranny.
Why would teachers refuse to arm themselves? Don’t they trust themselves with a gun? Don’t they understand that a well-armed school is the easiest and most protected place where the children are safer than almost anywhere else?
Why don’t teachers understand that showing children that the teacher can protect herself is a great way to teach personal responsibility? If a teacher can protect herself then she can protect the school children. If someone threatens the children the well-armed teacher can protect the children because she is armed.
Why would someone refuse to defend themselves? If they don’t care enough about themselves to take the responsibility to protect themselves how can they be trusted to protect the children in their care?
If you want to make sure people eat right would you ban certain foods known to cause higher weight? If you want to ban guns, why not first ban ice cream, butter and cookies because they cause obesity and obesity causes heart problems and more people are killed by heart attacks than by armed criminals?
The federal government says about 610,000 people die of heart disease in the United States every year. Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women. Being too fat causes heart attacks so ban foods that make people fat. It would save more lives than banning guns. Being obese caused many of the preventable deaths. Potato chips top the list of foods that cause weight gain, followed by butter, sugar, salt and red meat.
