My Norwegian Contact

A Norwegian gentleman posted a picture of young women in Israel openly carrying pistols on their hips, and thought it was sad: here is what I posted in response: "No, Ole (not his real name), it is not sad that people, all people everywhere, could legally and socially and openly express their right to bear arms. All people have a natural right to bear arms. Were the little people everywhere armed and carrying all the time, there would be no Communist, no Fascist, no theocratic despotism as in Iran, no strongman thug or oligarchy that uses its military and secret and open police to oppress, murder, torture and imprison the masses. An armed population is a free people, and no elite is able to use ungodly, wicked force to pound them into submission. We want citizens in America to open-carry everywhere, and we recommend such civic patriotism for people in every country on earth. Now, each person armed and carrying, must be sane, moral, self-restraining, safety-conscious and responsible. Were we to raise our children at home, in the church, in the school system, and on the playground to so behave and conduct themselves, then democracy and republicanism would be the norm around the world, not rare and precariously maintained.
