The Last Resort

I was bullied as a small child and I learned at a very early age that violence is rarely ever the answer.

I told my son when he first started school that I never wanted to see him act like a bully.

I expected him to be the kid who stood up to the bullies.

I am always very forward looking and I generally try to avoid conflict.

I do have guns in my home and I always have.

I grew up hunting and learned proper gun safety before I even learned how to drive.

I do not “love guns” and I do not “hate guns.”

I simply have guns in my life just like kitchen utensils… because they serve a valuable purpose.

Hunting is no longer the purpose for my guns because I rarely go hunting anymore.

The purpose of my guns is to protect me and my family from thieves, thugs, traitors, and tyrants.

I am saying this right now because I need to explain something very important.

I feel comfortable saying this today because most of the people who consider my guns to be a potential threat to the rest of society are virtually powerless in the political arena right now.

I believe deep down in my soul that some of the people who consider my guns to be a threat to the rest of society will eventually regain control of this nation one day.

I believe that a power grab to completely disarm me still may occur within my lifetime.

I feel the need to inform you of something in order to avoid a potential conflict down the road.

If you do ever show up at my door and demand that I surrender my weapons…

I will remember every school yard bully who only picked on the weak and the vulnerable.

I will recall the very first shots fired from the Old North Bridge against the oppressive threat of tyranny in Concord.

Most importantly, I will remember the very important lessons that our founding fathers tried to teach each and every one of us.

I will immediately recognize that you are the tyrant that John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison tried to warn us about.

This will be the moment of my last resort… and I will open fire.

Sincerely,

An American Patriot
