Self-defense cannot be delegated. You can’t account for crazy, but you can prepare for it.

“A citizen with a gun stopped a knife wielding man as he began stabbing people Thursday evening at the downtown Salt Lake City Smith’s store.”

Two people suffered knife wounds before an armed citizen pulled his firearm and put the rampage to an end. No shots fired. Had the people in the store behaved as sheep and waited for the police to arrive, many more people could have been hurt.

The actual purpose of gun-control laws is to force people to be sheep for the state — sheared today, slaughtered tomorrow. But a secondary consequence is to deprive them of the natural in-born ability to defend their own lives — thus self-inducing a sheep-like state of cowardice clamoring for the monopoly state’s “protection.”
