The title is A Nation of Cowards, and this is the best argument I have ever heard against those Liberals who "hate guns" because they are crude and indelicate things...and believe no one but the police should have them. Use it next time you find yourself confronted with their nonsense:
"Is your life worth protecting?
If so, whose responsibility is it to protect it?
If you believe that it is the police's, not only are you wrong -- since the courts universally rule that they have no legal obligation to do so -- but you face some difficult moral quandaries.
How can you rightfully ask another human being to risk his life to protect yours, when you will assume no responsibility yourself?
Because that is his job and we pay him to do it?
Because your life is of incalculable value, but his is only worth the $30,000 salary we pay him?
If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?"
Isn't that great? I wonder what their answer will be?
I can't wait to find out.

*The hero's description of guns in some pathetic karate movie I once saw. The fact that any granny with one could have rendered all his chopping and grunting pointless and ineffective from some distance away seems to have embittered him.
Sounds like a speech from Mr.Heston.I can hear him now...
