Conflict in the Philippines!

22 Sept 08

Excitement in the Philippines, from a friend there:

"We are experiencing a periodic flair-up of militant Moslem violence here. This one is particularly intense, with Islamic radicals doing their level best to massacre Christian enclaves, much as is the case in North Africa and Eastern Europe.

Experienced folks in the conflict area are prepared. As the situation escalated, they brought their stocks out of storage, Garands, M1 Carbines, Tommy Guns, Grease Guns, et al. So far, they've successfully repelled terrorists, with good effect. They know how to fight and are not willing to be victims, nor are they inclined to wait for promised help that always seems to show up right after the slaughter!

Of course, naive liberals, safe and sound in our Capitol, have piously, self-righteously decried such developments, saying that armed citizens only ' prolong the conflict.'

As in your Country, our politicians positively love massacres, but detest courageous citizens taking positive action to defend themselves. They love helpless victims, but hate private enterprise, in any form!"

Comment: Are we surprised? Politicians are the same everywhere! The purpose of "gun-control" is not protect the good and decent from violent criminals. Politicians want to banish private ownership of guns in order to protect themselves from us!
