Blessed Are Those Who, In The Face

The One Who Anticipates The Action Wins. The One Who Does Not, Loses.

Weapons Compound Man's Power To Achieve; They Amplify The Capabilities Of Both The Good Man And The Bad, And To Exactly The Same Degree, Having No Will Of Their Own. Thus We Must Regard Them As Servants, Not Masters - And Good Servants To Good Men. Without Them, Man Is Diminished, And His Opportunities To Fulfill His Destiny Are Lessened. An Unarmed Man Can Only Flee From Evil, And Evil Is Not Overcome By Fleeing From It.

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.

The Conclusions Seem Inescapable That In Certain Circles A Tendency Has Arisen To Fear People Who Fear Government. Government, As The Father Of Our Country Put It So Well, Is A Dangerous Servant And A Fearful Master. People Who Understand History, Especially The History Of Government, Do Well To Fear It. For A People To Express Openly Their Fear Of Those Of Us Who Are Afraid Of Tyranny Is Alarming. Fear Of The State Is In No Sense Subversive. It Is, To The Contrary, The Healthiest Political Philosophy For A Free People.

Let Your Attacker Worry About His Life. Don't Hold Back. Strike No More After He Is Incapable Of Further Action, But See That He Is Stopped.
