Greetings Sheepdogs,
     I offer you some text to share with your
friends who may not understand --

     Remember how Paul Revere warned us that the
British were coming?  Well, I'm here to tell you
that the Jihadist are here and their purpose in
life is to kill you.  So, arm yourself, and get
professional training in the use of your arms.
If you choose not to arm yourself and get training,
you are choosing to be a victim.
     Train your children. 
The NRA has instructors who will teach you. 
Check the NRA Instructor's web site at
http://www.nrainstructors.org/search.aspx
Search for self defense classes.  There are many
gun schools in our country.  Take advantage of
them.  They don't exist in other countries.
     I am not a prophet.  I am an intelligence
analyst.  My name is Jonathan Low, Staff Sergeant
United States Marine Corps.  My military
occupational specialty is Intelligence Specialist,
MOS 0231.  Unfortunately, I do know
what I'm talking about.

     Believing that you are safe in a gun free
zone is a grotesque superstition.  All mass
murders occur in gun free zones, because the
terrorists know that no one will shoot back
at them.
     Terrorist who attempt mass murder in
gun friendly places such as Garland, TX are
immediately killed, so no mass murder occurs.

Here is an announcement (2013) from Sheriff David Clarke
of Milwaukee County:
     “I’m Sheriff David Clarke, and I want to talk to
you about something personal:  Your safety.
It’s no longer a spectator sport. I need you in the game,
but are you ready?  With so many officers furloughed,
simply calling 911 and waiting for us to arrive is not
your best option.  You can beg for mercy from a violent
criminal, hide under your bed, or you can fight back.
     But, are you prepared?  Consider taking a certified
safety course in handling a firearm, so you can defend
yourself until we get there. You have a duty to protect
yourself and your family.
     We’re partners now. Can I count on you?”

     Keeping and bearing arms is Biblical.
“Then Jesus said to His disciples,
whoever does not have a sword
should sell his coat and buy a sword.”
– Book of Luke 22:36, New Life Version of the Bible
This is a transliteration of an ancient text.
The sword was the standard sidearm of the time.
Jesus is saying that self-defense is more
important than staying warm in the winter.
A modern translation would be,
“Then Jesus said to His disciples,
whoever does not have a pistol
should sell his smart phone and buy a pistol.”

"Those who carried materials
did their work with one hand
and held a weapon in the other,
and each of the builders wore
his sword at his side as he worked."
-- Nehemiah 4:17-18

"... each had his weapon,
even when he went for water."
-- Nehemiah 4:23, New International Version Bible

Scripture used by the 14th Marines chaplain
in a sermon urging us to carry our weapons
at all times.

"HARSH REALITY:
Police Are Not Highly Trained Firearms Experts"
http://bearingarms.com/mike-m/2016/06/02/individual-safety-whos-responsible/
Excerpts:
     Low light qualification and training tends to be rare,
in part because police administrators worry about
officers shooting each other.
     Most police officers are much more likely to miss
than hit their targets.

"Are Cops Good Shooters?"
http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/are-cops-good-shooters
Excerpt:
Most cops are not “gun people.”  Most don’t train on
their own or go to professional classes.  Most don’t
have more than a passing interest in the art of
shooting.
