There are many reasons that citizens vote for a candidate. Blue-collar families often vote for the one who will bring back manufacturing jobs. Military families often vote for the one who will leave no man behind. And there are intangible, psychological reasons, which the voters themselves may not be aware of.
For me, public safety is a primary consideration. People have a finite amount of sympathy. I’m sure Mother Teresa had more than I do, but even hers was not unlimited. Wisely, she spent hers for the poor. But many people are unwise. They spend their sympathy on illegal immigrants and criminals, leaving none for law-abiding citizens. This failing is illustrated by these two photos.
Sarah McKinley.
Eighteen-year-old Sarah McKinley was home with her three-month-old son on New Year’s Eve 2013. She lived in the rural community of Blanchard, Oklahoma, and police response times tended to be long. Her husband was not with her; he had died of cancer on Christmas Day.
She saw two men attempting to break in. She recognized one as a man who had been stalking her since her husband’s funeral. Apparently he was looking for drugs in the cancer victim’s home. She gave the baby his bottle, then retrieved a shotgun and a handgun and barricaded the door. She phoned 911 and asked what to do. She was told she could not shoot unless they came through the door. But the 911 dispatcher, who was a woman, added, “You do what you have to do to protect your baby.” .......
'Gun control', illegal immigration and porous borders - all add up to a recipe for a potentially reduced ability to defend the self. No disrespect to law enforcement but the inevitable delays in response time inevitably lead to inadequate protection when seconds really matter. We do NOT need armed illegals, but we for sure DO need citizens to have a means of defending themselves at all times.
