Because sometimes it is better not to have to defend yourself.


I'm pretty sure that you would defend yourself or a loved one. That is a natural response. Let me tell you about situations like this and why people do or do not defend themselves.

Most people go through the path of least resistance. In stressful situations like being assaulted, or mugged. The way criminals get away with what they do is because people in general want the situation to end and will do what is necessary to end it. If that means giving them their wallet then they do it.

Murders, rapists and even terrorists never corner their victims, because they know that naturally cornered people will fight. They keep a sense of "I may get through this" in the mind of the person, until the last second.

That is why during 911 the people on the plane didn't do anything, and why the flight 90 chashed. The people found out about the other flights and fought back because they were cornered. It is also why any terrorist act that happens now will have people that will fight back regardless what they have.

In combat situations you cannot have indecision or you will die. If you know intuitively what you would do you will do it. Under stress, you go back to your training, or what you unconsciously have in your rain based upon how you grew up. If you grew up submitting to everything, under stress you will submit and allow you and your loved ones to be at the mercy of a criminal but if you grew up learning to fight you will fight back. That is how it works.

That is why I always stress this issue. You can be against guns that is ok. Not everyone is into guns, an there are people that feel don't want anything to do with them. There is nothing wrong with that. But to be against Self-Defense first off not only isn't American, but not even natural.

So unless your a complete invalid or @#%$, you will fight back. So don't give me that crap.
