We Politely, But Audaciously, Refuse Learned Helplessness

Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “Every day is ‘ordinary,’ until it isn’t!” ~ Bernard Cornwell

On 3 June 2017, a group of van-driving, knife-wielding Islamic jihadi fanatics carried-out the notorious “London Bridge/Westminster Attacks” in the UK

Inquest findings have been published.

These should be required reading for complacent Americans who purchase a pistol, maybe even expose themselves to relevant training, obtain a CCW permit, and after that casually decide,

“Hey, there is no need to carry a concealed handgun in 2019. Is there? After all, carrying a hidden handgun continuously is awkward, inconvenient, uncomfortable, and the practice complicates one’s life!”

The berserk, wild-eyed maniacs in the above-mentioned murderous London episode ran amok for ten, long minutes, first driving into, and over, hapless pedestrians, then moving forward on-foot, hacking and stabbing dozens of unarmed Britons, unarmed foreign tourists and unarmed British police.

Until some of the UK’s precious-few armed police finally showed up and took care of business!

But, not before eight innocents were murdered and forty-eight were severely injured, many now with permanent disabilities/disfigurement.

During the infamous “armed police response time,” perpetrators took full advantage and executed their beastly plan, all with no fear of confronting armed victims, nor armed police

Here in the USA, these same fanatic spree-murderers may not have had it quite so easy.

Here in the USA, at least some of us routinely go armed. We’re well trained. We know how to “take care of business,” and we won’t waver.

We audaciously reject the role of “hapless/helpless victim,” and we gallantly refuse to “audition” for it.

This, of course, is the very role neo-Marxists (masquerading as “Democrats”) will forcefully impose upon all of us the first chance they get, and they’ve plainly said so, over and over.

For them, ‘learned helplessness” is their mantra and their prescribed “way of life” for the rest of us, and they will tolerate no other.

Patriots and Operators know better. We know that to volunteer to become a willing victim of violent criminals is to betray/dishonor our Constitution, and our warrior heritage.

We politely, but audaciously, refuse.

“Willingness” is a state of mind. “Readiness” is a statement of fact!
