USA -(Ammoland.com)- Thank you for the comments on the crime statistics presented in last week’s Thursday Bulletin. I know looking at statistics like those are unpleasant, but pretending they don’t exist is a fatal error. One reason they are so high is our “entitlement society”.
There are people who believe they are owed everything, and because they are not handed everything on a silver platter, they think they are entitled to just take it. Moreover, it is “our” fault they don’t have it. If you or I get in the way, they will just kill us and take it. We have created a predator class of human wolves.
In the United States, it is estimated that there are over 1,000,0000 gang members and Chicago may have 80,000 to 100,000 of them. What does that tell you?
What do you get when you combine hate speech and a “Gun Free Zone”? You get an early morning attack on a group of Republican Congressmen practicing for a baseball game. Conservatives have suffered a relentless pounding from vile left-wing media, comedians, Broadway shows, movie stars and politicians. It is little wonder that the crack pots that populate the left-wing are spurred to violence. I don’t expect the left-wing lynch mob to relent. We must be ready to defend ourselves.
Last week, I forgot to mention the 100th anniversary of the First Infantry Division. The Big Red One was formed on June 8th, 1917. The Big Red One has been on the front lines ever since. Thirty-five soldiers of the division have been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. Thanks to all who serve; we are very proud of you and thank you.
Thanks for being a member.
