Evil IS

David over at The War on Guns posted a link to an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on the Amish school house shooting that left five young girls dead, and five more in the hospital. The Goblin (I hate to use the word man when taking about him) was evil personified. What kind of person can plan and carry out such an act? How do we, as society protect ourselves from such a person?

In the comments to David's post, E. David Quammen of GunShowOnTheNet made a statement that I wish I had written:

Don't know if I have the words to express how I feel. Sean did a good job. All I can bring myself to wonder is how the hell does someone allow themselves to get THAT EVIL? What is going through their mind?

The anti's will do their blood dance. The sheeple will bleat for more 'protection' and further government intrusions. At the cost of more of our Freedoms and Liberties being lost, of course. And this despite clear evidence to the contrary, that further infringements will only make things worse.

What is really frustrating, is that even many of our fellow gun owners will nod their heads in agreement that more 'controls' are necessary. How many gun owners actual first thought was; 'I wish I'd had been there, he'd have been dead after the first or second shot'?

Was not the founders whole intent for an armed populace, keeping evil at bay? From whatever source it might arise, whether it be foreign or domestic? Was not each citizen expected to do their part?

Is not that sound reasoning? How is it then, that so many are blinded to this fact, and refuse to accept the truth?

Our, supposed, 'civilization' is in a very bad state of affairs. When common sense is given such little regard, how much longer will our society survive?

One responsible armed citizen, aware of their duty as a citizen, could have stopped this tragedy with one shot.

The people whom have shrilly cried for 'gun control' are directly, and indirectly, responsible for this and other tragedys. The blood belongs on their hands. Not on the people that would have acted, had they not been perversely restrained from doing so. It's time to pull the kid gloves off, and really start slamming the truth home, hard. And this, while we still have some semblance of a society worth fighting for. The consequence of not doing so, will lead to anarchy and totalitarian control...

There is evil in this world. There are goblins that prey upon the innocent. It is our duty and responsibility to stand against this evil, not just for ourselves and our family, but for society as a whole.

Am honored that you posted my comment, JR. Would have preferred that the topic had been different.

It is despicable that a man would allow himself to become so depraved. But, such is the nature of evil. And there must always be those willing to stand and confront such evil.

What is perhaps more despicable, and unforgivable. Is a government that has strayed from the clear mandate imposed upon it. And perversely binds the hands of those willing to do their civic duty.

This is OUR country - We The People. And these vile elected minions of hell have twisted and subverted it. To such a degree, that it is barely recognizable of what was meant to be. It is up to US to, once again, stand up and demand a full return to following the intended Constitutional system.

It should be painfully easy to see, that the twisted, subverted system is NOT working. And that the founders were correct in the original assessment of a solid governmental foundation; "The laws of nature and of natures God."

For us not to make a stand and do everything within our power to bring about a restoration, would be a true shame....
