by George Keely
The President of the
United States of America, Mr.
Barrack Obama, plans to use
his executive powers to curb the
ownership of guns! Never mind
that the Congress of the United
States decided against this very
action.
What would have happened
if there had been people
legitimately carrying firearms at
that movie theater in Colorado?
What would have happened if
citizens had been legally armed
in San Bernardino, California
and those crazed gunman showed
up? What would have happened
if Texans were allowed to carry
firearms back when that madman
crashed his vehicle through the
plate-glass window at Luby’s and
then exited his vehicle and began
executing his victims! I wonder
how the Sandy Hook School
Shooting may have turned out
if that school would have had
an armed teacher serving as a
“school marshal” like Texas now
has?
I wish every Texan that
could legally obtain a Handgun
License would do so and then
actually carry their firearms
with them and if an illegal
shooting incident occurs these
good citizens would use their
handguns to intervene and stop
the illegal shooters!
If more good citizens in
our Great Country were legally
permitted to carry firearms and
were willing to take legal action
when the need arose our country
would be a much safer place to
live!
I am a great believer in the
“People’s Rights to Keep and
Bear Arms”! 1 honestly think
people should train to use a
firearm for self-defense, obtain
a legal carry permit, carry their
firearm everywhere they go,
and be willing to intervene
if the need arises. We do not
need fewer guns we need good
American Citizens to have guns,
be trained to use those guns, and
then use them to stop senseless
violence!
