Guns don’t kill people; people kill people; and people with guns kill
even more people.
They also save more people who would otherwise be at the mercy of the
criminals.
SPRINGHILL TOWNSHIP, Pa. — An 85-year-old great-grandmother in Fayette
County busted a would-be burglar by pulling a gun, then forcing him to
call for help while she kept him in her sights.

Venus Ramey, 82, confronted a man on her farm in south-central
Kentucky last week after she saw her dog run into a storage building
where thieves had previously made off with old farm equipment.
Ramey said the man told her he would leave. “I said, ‘Oh, no you
won’t,’ and I shot their tires so they couldn’t leave,” Ramey said.
She had to balance on her walker as she pulled out a snub-nosed .38-
caliber handgun.
“I didn’t even think twice. I just went and did it,” she said. “If
they’d even dared come close to me, they’d be 6 feet under by now.”

Hancock County Sheriff’s Investigator Andre Fizer said about an 84-
year-old man’s decision to shoot through a house door at another man
who was trying to barge into the house: “You could tell he was
devastated. You could tell he was scared.” And rightfully so. Twenty-
year-old Wade Ledesma made repeated attempts to break in to the house
at about 5 a.m. on July 27, threatening to kill him throughout.
Ledesma “tried to break through the front door and also tried to enter
through a back door and a rear window of the residence. The resident
called 911 and reported that the intruder was trying to force his way
into the home…. [The elderly man] held himself against the door to
keep [Ledesma] from entering,” reported the Sun Herald.
The resident became tired from holding the door and, worded about his
and his wife’s safety, asked his wife to get his pistol. He fired a
shot through the door, meant to merely be a warning shot, and he hit
Ledesma in the leg.

And those are just the obvious cases.
A few years ago I was at a talk by a Jewish man from Poland who
survived WWII because he was able to escape his home before the Nazis
rounded them up and was able to get a gun from a family friend. He
said that without a weapon he would not have been able to join the
partisans and remain safe. He also would not have survived his first
night home after the war as some of his “neighbors” knocked on the
door in the middle of the night to “invite” him to join them for a
party to celebrate his return. He had his rifle with him and leveled
at the men during the conversation as he explained to them that he was
tired and would prefer staying home…They didn’t press the matter. But
he left the next day and never returned. He heard a few days later
that a friend of his was not so prepared and was killed by the
“neighbors”.
The movie “Defiance” is yet another reminder to Jews that weapons are
not something to fear, but to have handy.
Finally…
In 1928, five years before the rise of Hitler, Germany’s freely
elected government enacted a “Law on Firearms and Ammunition.” This
law required anyone who owned a firearm, or who wanted to own a
firearm, to make themselves known to the authorities. Anyone who
wanted to purchase a firearm had to get a “Firearms Acquisition
Permit.” If you needed ammunition, you had to get an “Ammunition
Acquisition Permit.” When you wanted to go hunting, you had to get an
“Annual Hunting Permit.” Every firearm that changed hands
professionally had to have a serial number and the maker’s or dealers
name stamped into the metal. “Proof of need” was made a condition for
issuance of all licenses, not just the carry permit. Mandatory prison
sentences were imposed on anyone who professionally sold or
transferred a firearm or ammunition without a license. Truncheons and
stabbing weapons were subject to the same licensing requirements as
firearms, in terms of their manufacture and sale.
As a result of the 1928 Law, all firearms and firearms owners were
registered. To take firearms from anyone they distrusted, the Nazis
simply did not renew permits. Under the law, their privately created
law, the Nazis could now easily confiscate all firearms and ammunition
from any, or all, selected groups. The gun law of 1928 had served the
Nazis well. It made almost all law abiding firearms owners known to
the authorities. The 1928 law on firearms and ammunition helped the
Nazis to destroy democracy in Germany, by disarming the law abiding
majority, whom they feared.

A right to bear arms is the fundamental right of every law-abiding
person to acquire the means to protect themselves even from their own
government. One of the first things a government does when it wants to
control its citizenry is to control their access to the weapons they
need to defend themselves.
Guns don’t kill people; people kill people; and people with guns kill
even more people.
They also save more people who would otherwise be at the mercy of the
criminals.
