Subject: GUNS THWART CRAZIES
Why do you believe society is experiencing more deadly rampages by crazy killers? Have
gory computer games twisted the players' compassion for the lives of others? Modern
movies and TV programs depicting mostly violent special effect stunts with skimpy
connecting plots have dulled feelings for killing and suffering as a reality. Law
enforcement officers claim that it isn't their responsibility to shield us from criminal
acts, but only to catch the perpetrators after the fact happens. Therefore, we have
increased need for guns to protect ourselves and our families from proliferating crazies
and other criminals.

BUY A GUN FOR PROTECTION FROM CRAZIES,
CRIMINALS AND OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT
By Chuck Baldwin, Author, Talk Show Host and Baptist Minister
Most of us are aware that the heroic actions of a brave woman at the
New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado recently saved the lives of
perhaps scores, or even hundreds, of people. However, her bravery would
not have counted for much had she not been armed.
On that fateful December Sunday, a man by the name of Matthew Murray
entered the church armed to the teeth. According to press reports, he was
armed with a semi-automatic rifle, two handguns, some smoke grenades, and
more than 1,000 rounds of ammunition.
By the time Murray arrived in the Colorado Springs church, he had
already killed four people: two at a missionary training center miles
away, and two in the church parking lot. He had wounded several others.
No one realized it at the time, but the man was a serial killer in
the midst of a rampage. He doubtless planned to kill as many people as
he could, as there were thousands of people inside the church.
Had there not been an armed citizen in the church house, the death
toll would have been massive.
According to church spokesmen, the congregation has over a dozen
members who volunteered to serve as security personnel for the church.
Jeanne Assam was one of those volunteers. A former police officer,
Assam said, "I saw him [Murray] coming through the doors, and I took
cover, and I waited for him to get closer. I came out of cover, I
identified myself and engaged him and took him down." Murray died in the
exchange.
Although Assam shot him several times with her 9mm pistol, the
coroner's office said that Murray actually succumbed to a self-inflicted
gunshot wound. After being incapacitated by Assam's gunfire, Murray
apparently turned one of his weapons on himself.
Have you noticed how the media dropped the Colorado story as soon as
it was discovered that a lawfully armed citizen ended the potential
massacre by using her own handgun? Had the killer been successful in
murdering scores of people, however, it would have been at the top of the
news for weeks. As it is, the story is already buried in the dungeon
section of the news, if it is in the news at all.
One thing the national news media will always ignore is the practice
of lawful self-defense. For example, most people are probably not aware
of the fact that American citizens use a firearm to defend themselves
more than 2.4 million times EVERY YEAR. That is more than 6,500 times
EVERY DAY. This means that, each year, firearms are used 60 times more
often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.
Furthermore, of the 2.4 million self-defense cases, more than 192,000
are by women defending themselves against sexual assault. And in less
than eight percent of those occasions is a shot actually fired. The vast
majority of the time (92%), the mere presence of a firearm helps to avert
a major crime from occurring.
Another fact conveniently ignored by the major media is the
connection between wanton killings and so-called "gun-free" zones. For
an example of this, look no further than the Virginia Tech massacre. In
spite of Virginia state laws that allow citizens to carry concealed
weapons for self-defense, Virginia Tech forbade its students and faculty
from carrying weapons for self-defense on campus.
Had a student or faculty member been armed--as was Ms. Assam in the
Colorado Springs attack--no doubt many, if not most, of the Virginia Tech
victims would not have died. Obviously, bad guys do not pay any
attention to "gun-free" zones, except to note that such zones create a
free-killing environment.
Is it any wonder that those states and cities with the most
restrictive gun control laws tend to also be home to the highest crime
rates? The old saying is still true. "When guns are outlawed, only
outlaws will have guns." There is another saying I like even better.
"When guns are outlawed, I will be an outlaw."
Even our Lord Jesus understood and validated the right of every
person to arm themselves for self-defense. He said, "He that hath no
sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one." (Luke 22:36 KJV)
America's Founding Fathers agreed with personal gun ownership.
Thomas Jefferson said, "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of
arms." He also said, "Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm
only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . .
Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the
assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for
an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed
man."
Samuel Adams said, "The said Constitution [shall] be never construed
to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press, or the
rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who
are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms."
James Madison said, "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the
whole body of people always possess arms."
Thomas Paine said, "Arms discourage and keep the invader and
plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property
. . . Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the
use of them."
George Washington called the private collections of arms "the
people's liberty's teeth."
America must always preserve the right to keep and bear arms. To do
any less is to invite oppression and tyranny, not to mention acts of
violence.
Do the math yourself. Absent an armed citizen, 32 innocent people
lost their lives at Virginia Tech, while the presence of one armed
citizen resulted in only two innocent deaths in Colorado Springs.
Furthermore, the presence of over 200 million firearms in the possession
of the American people has done more to keep America free than any other
human element--bar none!
Therefore, to help keep your family safe and your country free, go
buy a gun.
