Personal Protection, Self Defense Products, Stun Guns, Pepper Sprays

You could say that StunMaster stun guns run on direct
current, directly from the battery. It’s not quite the same
thing as d.c. electricity, but it’s close enough, and it lets
me use that somewhat musical subject line.

When it’s only mooks and gangbangers who are scheming against
us, we can fall back on weapons like StunMaster Stun Guns. But when
it’s a large minority who’s trying to take over the whole country, it’s
going to take something a lot more serious.

That’s what I really wanted to write about, that
most countries don’t explode, they IMPLODE.

My online dickshionary defines implode, in the sense that I’m
using it here, as “economic or political collapse.” The example
they give for using it in a sentence is, “Can any amount of aid
save the republics from imploding?”

Don’t think their example would pass muster in my 6th grade
English class, taught by Sister St. John Mary–using “imploding”
rather than “implode”–but maybe that’s progress, who knows.

The point I’m getting to is one of those universal laws
of history, that most countries are brought down by their own
people, rather than by outsiders.

Even those countries which history says were conquered, you
can usually trace the beginnings of their conquest back to
treacherous, destructive actions taken by their own citizens. For
example, Germany and Japan were conquered from the outside,
a result of World War 2, but the German Republic had been taken
over and set on its path to destruction by Hitler and his Nazis.

The Allies forced Japan to surrender, true, but were it not for
the greed for money and power that drove it’s military machine,
there may never have been a Pacific theater in WW2.

After that war, China was lost to the commies, NOT the ones from
the Soviet Union, but from inside China herself, from China’s own
citizens.

Before WW2, Russia had been lost to the commies, NOT from an
attack from outside, but from inside Russia herself, from Russia’s
own citizens.

Same goes for Cuba, South Africa, North Korea, Vietnam, Iraq,
Iran and pretty much any other country you want to name. Any country
that finds itself suffering under tyranny, by whatever name it calls
itself, can look to its own people as the source of that tyranny.

Rome started as a republic and ended up a dictatorship before it
was no more.

Hard-working people who wouldn’t pay attention to what was
happening to their own country, when it would have been easier
for them to stop it, then find themselves the victims of the sinister
desires of people they used to think of as friends and comrades.

Their myopia results in slavery, death and destruction for the vast
majority of people.

But the minority, the ones who led the revolution with their own
greedy and selfish interests in mind? They eat caviar while their
own citizens eat dirt.

This is, sadly, the way of the world. It’s always been this way, and
it most likely always will be this way. We know that it doesn’t HAVE
to be so, because 247 years ago, a group of courageous men who
only wanted everyone to have a chance for success, based on his
own efforts, began the effort to transform the land where they lived.

With the Proclamation of 1763, the British crown sought to limit the
freedom of the colonists to expand westward. That was the spark
that made the revolution, that made the colonists begin their move
toward freedom, toward having their own country.

Those first Americans knew that if they didn’t do something about it,
then they would be the servants of other citizens currently living
among them, other citizens who appeared to be friendly, who appeared
to have society’s best interest at heart, but who secretly schemed
and plotted for ways to enrich themselves with ill-gotten gains.

It’s always been that way, and it always will be that way. The world
is not fair, the world is after what you have, and if you refuse to
recognize that and defend what you have, your troubles will soon
be over. Soon you’ll have nothing left to defend.

That’s what a pessimist would say.

Fortunately, not only can we
choose to be optimists, we can look to our own past to find positive
proof that what is right can win the day. Just remember that the
longer this struggle gets put off, the harder it’s going to be.

There’s an election coming up in November, a way for us to use a
completely non-violent method to right this ship. If we do it then, we can
avoid a repeat of what our founders had to endure. They did not have
a non-violent option open to them. We do.

The next best thing to non-violent is non-lethal. That’s what you can
use when you run into ordinary street crime. A stun gun or pepper spray
should always be the weapon of choice, when you have the choice to
NOT kill someone. If ever you’re confronted with that choice, you’ll be
glad when you have a non-lethal option.     

Til next time, keep your eyes and ears open, be aware and
be safe,

The Self Defense Guy
