The liberal equation is the sum of the beliefs of the liberal party. They usually fall on the socialistic side of the spectrum and work against the freedom of the people. Socialistic liberals have one major belief in common. They believe the average American is not capable of living their lives without being told how to do it. They believe that they know what is best for everybody and want to control how others live while excluding themselves from that same framework. We have seen this many times throughout history but the most known example came in the form of Adolf Hitler. Does that seem pretty drastic to you? Well read on. I say this with a grain of salt because I know that not all liberals have these beliefs. But those of who do, (Obama) know who they are.

I run a second amendment website and forum so I will focus on the anti gun aspect of the equation but it spans well beyond the second amendment.

I will try to explain my belief among others beliefs of the second amendment and the important part that it plays in everyday life. It actually saves lives every day. It is used in conjunction with CCW licenses all over the United States. Every year millions of crimes do not happen because of it. Although the requirement of a concealed license has been developed by the equation over the years, us true second amendment supporters believe that the second amendment is our concealed carry license.

The next section of this article is a scenario. I will warn you now it will get very graphic. It has to be graphic so can fully grasp how important the second amendment is to the people of this country.
In order to truly understand the seriousness of this scenario you have to imagine you are scared. If you have ever been in a life threatening moment, an auto accident or any other situation where you thought you were about to meet your maker then that is what you have to imagine. The adrenalin rush, the feeling that this is not happening, the feeling of un-realness. If you have never felt what I have just described then you really have no comprehension of what your life is really worth.

With that said.

The Socialist Liberal Scenario
It is 2:00 AM in the morning. You and your wife have just left a restaurant that you were at with friends. You had a great night, you saw a great movie, and there was lots of laughing and smiling. You reminisced about old times and told stories of things from the past. You are thinking to yourself how great your life is and how lucky you are to have such a life. You are holding your wife’s hand and walking through a fairly dark but not totally dark patch of a well lit parking lot towards your car. Out of nowhere a guy comes out from behind a car about twenty feet in front of you, he his holding a knife and say’s “give me your money or he will kill you”. From behind you, you hear another deep voice say, “I would do what he says, he means it”. Your wife grabs your left hand really hard. She is scared. You are saying to yourself that this is bad, you are in panic mode. The adrenalin is cursing through your veins. You are in a feeling of non belief. The voice from behind you makes a comment about how beautiful your wife is. The voice in front of you is saying give us the money or your wife is going to know what a real man feels like. You yank your wife’s arm as you take off running between cars. You are just about at your car when a third man jumps out and grabs you. You fall to the ground. One man holds your wife while the other two start beating the hell out of you. You can hear your wife screaming, you can see one of the men jabbing up and down with his knife but you do not feel anything as you lose consciousness.

You awake in a hospital. You have no idea what has happened. You are confused, you are wondering where your wife is, is she OK, is she hurt. As you are waking up an officer is standing over you. He asks you if you remember anything. He asked you if you seen the man that have done this to you. You managed to ask where your wife was. A timely pause runs by and the officer says in a low voice. You wife was raped by multiple men; she was beaten within a inch of her life. She has internal injuries and bruises over sixty percent of her body. As time goes on you heal enough to get out of the hospital, your wife’s bruises and cuts heal. You both survive. Over the next 6 weeks you are told that your wife now has HIV. One of the men must have been infected. She is now in therapy. She will not let you touch her in any way and you feel like you have failed her. You can feel your marriage slipping away and there is nothing you can do about it. You yourself have major health issues due to multiple stab wounds and cannot maintain your job due to health reasons. You become dependent on state funded services. You lose your house and car and eventually your wife to a divorce.

The Second Amendment Scenario
It is 2:00 AM in the morning. You and your wife have just left a restaurant that you were at with friends. You had a great night, you saw a great movie, and there was lots of laughing and smiling. You reminisced about old times and told stories of things from the past. You are thinking to yourself how great your life is and how lucky you are to have such a life. You are holding your wife’s hand and walking through a fairly dark but not totally dark patch of a well lit parking lot towards your car. Out of nowhere a guy comes out from behind a car about twenty feet in front of you, he his holding a knife and say’s “give me your money or he will kill you”. From behind you, you hear another deep voice say, “I would do what he says, he means it”. Your wife grabs your left hand really hard. She is scared.

In one second you draw your gun that you carry with you every day because one day it might save your life or the life of a loved one. The same gun that the Social Liberal Equation does not want you to have. You draw that gun and you shoot the scumbag in front of you. You shoot three shots in one point five seconds in to his chest. You push your wife between two cars, you then turn to your left and put three shots in the chest of the other guy. All of this happens in a matter of four seconds. Within one minute they are both on the ground dead. The third guy that you do not know about had just pissed his pants and took off running.

You have made the world a safer place because you sent two scumbags to hell. They will never hurt anyone again. They will not become a burden to society. The state prison will not have to feed them, keep them healthy or cut them loose when they served a sentence just to do it all over again. Your wife is safe and you are safe.

This is not vigilantism, this is self defense. The Social Liberal Equation is not for the people. It does not work for the people. Where is it written that the people must suffer so the police can do their job? Where is it written that your life must be ruined so the laws of justice can be exercised? The Social Liberal Equation works against the people. You have a god given right to defend yourself and the lives of your loved ones. This right cannot be controlled by a government. Bad people will do bad things and they will do it with any weapon they can get their hands on. The question is not what weapon they will use; the question is what weapon you will use to give you a superior posture over your attacker. The Social Liberal Equation will not allow you to carry a gun or even own a gun. They are afraid of guns being used against them, but they even more afraid of you with a gun. They cannot tell you what to do while you are armed. They would prefer your wife raped and beaten. Then they can ask the police to find the three men that have just ruined yours and your wife’s life forever. After all, bad guys have rights too.

After reading this some might say that this scenario is over the top and will say things like this stuff does not happen and the odds of it happening to you are slim and so on and so on. Here is the bottom line. It can happen to you. It does happen in this country and you need to be prepared for it. You have the right to be raped, beaten and killed if you want to. If you would rather be a victim then hey, more power to you. Of course you would prefer not to be raped, beaten or killed but after reading the above can you understand how important the second amendment and the right to carry really is? If you can not then you truly are a lost cause I hope the time never comes when you wish you were carrying a gun.

At any given time during the day you can walk in to any mall or shopping center and be within 50 feet of a law abiding citizen carrying a gun. You might think that is a scary situation but what it really means is because you are within 50 feet of that person, you are safer at that moment then when you are at home. You are safer because if some bad guys decides to go nuts right there, the armed citizen will always be ready to deal with that bad guy.

Think about that.

In closing I would like to thank you for reading this. It is just my opinion but I hope it makes you think about the second amendment in a different light.

Stay safe and thanks for reading.

Most anti gunners will not admit that guns benefit them more then not. They would be willing to takes every gun in this country and destroy it and then they
would think the country would be a better place. In their delusional minds they actually believe that it would benefit them. Now, lets look at the facts.

FACT:
Guns save more lives than they take; prevent more injuries than they inflict.

FACT:
Washington D.C. crime rates are worse then city's up to four time larger than D.C.

Every time the issue of concealed carry comes up liberal politicians say the same thing over and over again. More guns equal more crime. Then they are asked
to prove it and they can not. They can not use DC as an example because it has had a gun ban in effect for over thirty years and it is one of the most
dangerous places in the USA. Why you ask. BECAUSE ONLY THE BAD GUYS HAVE GUNS.

Bad guys could care less about laws, They love gun control laws. They know when they are in DC and walk in a store to rob it, odds are they are the only
person in there with a gun. Talking about easy pickings.

Ask any card carrying liberal if they feel safe without a gun and they will say yes. Then ask that same liberal while they are being mugged or about to be
sexually assaulted if they would like a gun at that moment and they will say yes. They will say yes because liberals do not look past themselves. If it does
not effect them personally then it is not happening. Give the bad guy what he wants and hopefully he will not harm you or kill you. That's the liberal answer.

Gun control to the extreme:

We hear how great England is doing. They have been gun free since 1997. Over 53 percent of English burglaries occur while occupants are at home, compared with 13 percent in the U.S., where burglars admit to fearing armed homeowners more than the police. In a United Nations study of crime in 18 developed nations published said, England and Wales led the Western world's crime league, with nearly 55 crimes per 100 people.

This is not gun crime. This is total crime. Like Washington DC. There is no opposition to crime. The police can not be everywhere. They will not get to the crime scene until after the crime.

Since 1997 England has made a few more changes. Now the bad guys have the same right to your property and life as you do, even if they are going to kill you, you can not kill them.

A sampling of cases illustrates the impact of these measures:

  • In 1973 a young man running on a road at night was stopped by the police and found to be carrying a length of steel, a cycle chain, and a metal clock weight. He explained
    that a gang of youths had been after him. At his hearing it was found he had been threatened and had previously notified the police. The justices agreed he had a valid reason to carry the weapons. Indeed, 16 days later he was attacked and beaten so badly he was hospitalized. But the prosecutor appealed the ruling, and the appellate judges insisted that carrying a weapon must be related to an imminent and immediate threat. They sent the case back to the lower court
    with directions to convict.
  • In 1987 two men assaulted Eric Butler, a 56-year-old British Petroleum executive, in a London subway car, trying to strangle him and smashing his head against the door. No one came to his aid. He later testified, "My air supply was being cut off, my eyes became blurred, and I feared for my life." In desperation he unsheathed an ornamental sword blade in his walking stick and slashed at one of his attackers, stabbing the man in the stomach. The assailants were charged with wounding. Butler was tried and convicted of carrying an offensive weapon.
  • In 1994 an English homeowner, armed with a toy gun, managed to detain two burglars who had broken into his house while he called the police. When the officers arrived, they arrested the homeowner for using an imitation gun to threaten or intimidate. In a similar incident the following year, when an elderly woman fired a toy cap pistol to drive off a group of youths who were threatening her, she was arrested for putting someone in fear. Now the police are pressing Parliament to make imitation guns illegal.
  • In 1999 Tony Martin, a 55-year-old Norfolk farmer living alone in a shabby farmhouse, awakened to the sound of breaking glass as two burglars, both with long criminal records, burst into his home. He had been robbed six times before, and his village, like 70 percent of rural English communities, had no police presence. He sneaked downstairs with a shotgun and shot at the intruders. Martin received life in prison for killing one burglar, 10 years for wounding the second, and a year for having an unregistered shotgun. The wounded burglar, having served 18 months of a three-year sentence, is now free and has been granted 5,000 of legal assistance to sue Martin.

This is our future if the liberals have their way. We live in a time where radical Muslims want to kill us, our economy is failing and jobs are disappearing at an alarming rate.

In the end there are good guys and bad guys. Good guys carry guns for self defense. Bad guys carry guns to hurt you and will still do so if guns are illegal.

Are you starting to see the picture?

Of the ones that do, I wonder how many actually take some sort of training after that. I was in a training class this weekend and the instructor said something that really sunk in with me.
In a self defense situation you will revert back to your level or training to defend yourself.

What is your level of training?
If you have none what will you do if the time comes to use your firearm? Will you be fumbling it around? Will you be shaking like a scared rabbit? Will you use it and miss your target. If you do miss where did those bullets go? Sixty percent of all police gun fights are done one handed.

Do you practice one handed?
In some of my other posts I have mentioned how it is easy to strap a gun to your hip but knowing how to use it is what will save your life. If you are reading this and have not had any training other than target practice or your CCW class I would suggest you get some.

Do you shoot with one eye closed?
A lot of people do but do you think if the time comes to use your firearm you will be closing your eye to find your target. I seriously doubt it. In a stress situation like that your brain will want as much input as possible. Closing one eye is the opposite of what your brain will want.

How fast can you acquire your target?
Do you practice drawing your gun and acquiring your target? You should because that is exactly what you will be doing in a self defense situation.

When do you use your sights and when do you not use them?
Sights are good for target practice or shooting after a certain distance. In a self defense situation you might be so close you just point and shoot. Do you know your cut off point?

Shooting while on the move?
Have you tried this? It is not as easy as it seems. It is not like dancing. You could be on rocky ground or a sandy environment. Moving left to right, straight forward or even backwards while you are aiming a gun and pulling the trigger. Bad guys do not care where their bullets go, you should. At that moment you will just want to survive. After the moment if you are still alive, you are responsible for every bullet you fired.

It is your responsibility as a CCW holder to get as much training as possible.
It is better for you and safer for everybody around you.

I would like to thank Dave over at Eagle Personal Protection for opening my eyes.
