“Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force,” the letter reads. “If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force.”
“When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force. The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunken guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.”
And because it’s the weekend…
