The Delhi Gang Rape
on January 7, 2013 at 8:03 am…has Indian women getting guns for protection.
When seconds count, the police are only minutes away:
Gun laws in India are very strict, but when a common citizen applies for a license, he is almost treated like a criminal… If you are a farmer living on an isolated farm or a woman in Delhi who is at risk … do you have to prove a specific threat? This is absurd. So you have to be raped, looted or killed to be given a license?
When will the UN take up self defense as a fundamental universal human right? I won’t hold my breath.
When will the UN take up self defense as a fundamental universal human right? I won’t hold my breath.
Look not further than the membership of various UN committees on human rights and you’ll find your answer. Death by government was one of the leading causes of death in the 20th century. A universal right of self-defense (while the mark of a civilized country) would mean citizens would have the right to protect themselves even (especially!) against their own government. That will not do.

Sir, would you please explain this statement ‘for the class’, before the Dynamic Trio of lib haunters float in here and start telling us the average time it takes for LEO’s to respond, on a worldwide per capita basis vs how many American Minority children are killed by Right-Wing Christians with Blue Eyes.
