Why This Grandpa Carries A Gun

My old Grandpa said to me, "Son, there comes a time in   every man's life when he stops bustin' knuckles and starts   bustin' caps and usually it's when he becomes too old to   take a whoopin'." 
  
I don't carry a gun to kill people; I carry a gun to keep   from being killed. 
  
I don't carry a gun because I'm evil; I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the World. 
  
I don't carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government. 
  
I don't carry a gun because I'm angry; I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared. 
  
I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I   carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.          I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves   and the ones they love. 
  
I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate; I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate. 
  
I don't carry a gun because I love it; I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. 
  
Police protection is an oxymoron: Free citizens must   protect themselves because police do not protect you   from crime; they just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess. 
  
Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to take a whoopin'! 
  
A LITTLE GUN HISTORY 
  
PLEASE  DON'T  THINK  FOR  A  MOMENT,  THAT    THIS  COULDN'T HAPPEN  IN  OUR  COUNTRY  ALSO !!!!!! In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control: ·             From 1929 to 1953,  about 20 million dissidents,   unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
In 1911, Turkey established gun control:
 ·             From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------
Germany established gun control in 1938:
 From 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were  unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------

·           From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
-----------------------

 ·        From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend   themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

56 million defenseless people were rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control.
    -----------------------
You won't see this data on the US evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. 
  
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens. 
  
With guns, we are 'citizens'; without them, we are 'subjects'. 
  
During WW II, the Japanese decided not to invade    America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!      ·         Gun owners in the USA are the largest armed forces in   the World! 
  
·          If you value your freedom, please spread this anti-gun   control message to all of your friends. 
  
·          The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible   victory in defense. 
  
·          The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.   
  
·          SWITZERLAND ISSUES A GUN TO EVERY   HOUSEHOLD! 
SWITZERLAND'S GOVERNMENT ISSUES AND TRAINS EVERY ADULT IN THE USE OF A RIFLE.
 
  
·             SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!!! 
  
IT'S A NO BRAINER!  DON'T LET OUR GOVERNMENT   WASTE MILLIONS OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN  EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS  AN EASY TARGET. 
   
         I'm a firm believer in the 2nd Amendment!  If you are too, please forward this.   If you're not a believer, please reconsider the true facts.  This is history; not what's being shown on TV, sanctioned by our illustrious delusional leaders in Washington.

This old man feels the same , however I as usual will take it a step further.
Most older people know and have knowledge of the past due to our involvement in school history. We know what will happen without the 2nd . So , if this happens the young and ignorant will see a civil war that will shake the entire world. Obama already knows this and has taken steps to push us down. I said it before , we gun owners have the largest army in the world. This operation if needed will be comprised of underground and gorilla warfare . It ain't gonna be pretty , but it never is.
If your head is in the sand , it's way too late for you .

History is no longer mandatory in many of our schools. This should change because too many of our young people don't know the consequences of being ignorant, and their parents didn't think learning history was important when they were in school.
