A BIT OF FILOSOFY (PHILOSOPHY)

By Syd

I don 't carry a gun to kill people.
I carry a gun to keep from being killed.

I don't carry a gun to scare people.
I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.

I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid.
I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.

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 my sex organs are too small.
I carry a gun because I want to continue to use those sex organs for the purpose
for which they were intended for a good long time to come.

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 take exception to this part; I HAVE loved my guns, since I got my first one at age 8 ]
I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.





I will add
that a few years ago,
I was so badly debilitated by abdominal surgery and infection that I coud not even walk.
I remember thinking that I better not get into any fights,
because even without them I barely had the strength to stand up.

I post this in furtherance of my desire
that my fellow American citizens will be routinely armed to the teeth.
