Reasons listed for carrying a gun

Why carry a gun? At some point, you may have asked yourself that question. There are several reasons for carrying a gun. I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil; I carry one because I see the evil in the world.

I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government; I carry one because I understand the nefarious nature of government. I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry; I carry so I won’t hate myself for failing to be prepared.

I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone; I carry because I want to die at a ripe old age, not bleeding to death on a sidewalk or in a grocery store. I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man; I carry because men should be able to defend themselves.

I don’t carry because I love it; I carry because I love life and the people who make life worthwhile.

Police protection is an oxymoron. We must protect ourselves because a policeman cannot protect us from criminals. Ask one.

I also carry because Schumer, Pelosi and the rest of the Democrats make our safety secondary.

After Brian Kolfage, a Purple Heart, triple-amputee veteran started a “GoFundMe” campaign to receive donations to build a border wall, Democratic Sheila Jackson Lee introduced “HR 7332”, a bill to prohibit the use of private taxpayer donations to build a border wall.

Currently, there are four co-sponsors: Reps. Karen Bass, Yvette Clarke, Marcia Fudge and Joaquin Castro. All Democrats from California, New York, Ohio and Texas. Brian’s “GoFundMe” campaign raised $15.5 million in less than a week and, obviously, a border wall scares the hell of Democrats, and for good reason.

The future of the party depends on the support of illegal aliens. Due to the party’s ultra-left swing, they lost thousands of supporters, and they’re trying to make up their losses. The Democrats know a border wall would prevent it. How much proof do you need before you realize the Democrats just don’t care about your safety?
