Cops Keep You Safe

That’s if they ever get there. I realize the situation here, where the cops took FOUR DAYS to respond to a call for help, is unusual. But even a few minutes can seem like hours, or days. But the point remains the same. The cops can only protect you if they’re “on the scene” when a bad guy who is ILLEGALLY armed, comes to victimize you. Usually, they’re MINUTES away. And in those minutes, the bad guy can do a lot of damage. Yes, maybe the cops can find and convict him later of your murder, if they can find him. But you’re still dead. And that’s only if he bought his gun legally and passed a background check, which is unlikely. People who want to commit crimes with their guns rarely pass background checks. Nor do they recognize “no gun zones,” where only the law-abiding are usually unarmed. And if you have your gun in a “gun safe,” it can also take you minutes to get it into action while the criminal already has his gun out, and aimed at you. The only thing those highly touted “gun laws” do is make it easier for the bad guy to victimize the law-abiding, who DO obey laws, while the criminals do NOT. The ONLY solution is to allow the law-abiding to be armed for self defense. They are THERE when the bad guy comes, and can do what the cops can’t. Shoot the criminal before he can do his dirty work. And by so doing, can help reduce “gun crime,” one criminal at a time. (WXYZ Detroit)
