Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons.... Pick up a rifle - a really good rifle - and if you know how to use it well, you change instantly from a mouse to a man, from a peon to a caballero, and - most significantly - from a subject to a citizen.

Your mind-set is your primary weapon

If a felon attacks you and lives, he will reasonably conclude that he can do it again. By submitting to him, you not only imperil your own life, but you jeopardize the lives of others.

That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants.

It's a matter of will. If you know that you can keep your head, and that you must keep your head, you probably will keep your head.

Therefore, if you are attacked, retaliate instantly. Be sudden. Be quick. Speed is your salvation.

Let us remind ourselves again that the Second Amendment of the US Constitution should be referred to as the Statute of Liberty.
