“I realized that only we can protect ourselves in the event of the unthinkable. We have a right to self-defense, but if we don’t have the right to the guns, then the right to self-defense is theoretical.

I wondered as I sat alone in my car driving home later that day: since gun laws will stop no motivated criminal, why do they really want us defenseless?” – Mary Anne Marcella in Lockdown: A Teacher’s Thoughts [at americanthinker.com]
