I recently viewed a TV news program, emanating from the Chicago area, purporting to provide home-owners with sound advice with regard to home-invasions by VCAs.
The âexpertâ they consulted mouthed perfectly the party-line. The âprinciplesâ promoted by these nanny-state Liberals never change:
1. Youâre too stupid to own a gun! Daring, initiative, and courage and have no place in your pathetic life. Youâre just a helpless pawn, unable to do anything for yourself. Get used to it!
2. Violent criminals are absolutely invincible! They cannot be vanquished. Resistance, in any form, is thus futile. âFighting back is the worst thing you can do.â
3. Your only viable option is to hide in a blind place, like a closet, where you can observe nothing, call 911, and wait helplessly for police to arrive.
4. When you are discovered, give VCAs whatever they want. When they âwantâ to murder you, I guess youâre supposed to resist the temptation to do anything in your own defense. That, of course, would be âvigilantismâ and âtaking the law into your own hands.â Unthinkable!
In short, only criminals and police are authorized to use force in any form. When you donât fall into either category, you have no legitimate option but to submit hopelessly to criminal violence.
It makes me sick to think the descendants of pioneers, frontier fighters, and cowboys would ever take this ridiculous âadviceâ seriously!
Fighting, courageously resisting evil with righteous force, is what our Nation is all about!
Programs promoting the foregoing should be laughed off the air!
