I don’t believe in karma nor anti-karma (what some express as “no good deed goes unpunished“). This frees me to do the right thing for the right reasons without the taint of selfishness or unnecessary fear.

Wrongness is Wrong Because…
If an act violates the rights of an individual, then you have no right to do it. If you do it anyway, you did wrong. You committed evil. That you believe your act is “necessary” changes nothing.
I Am Not a Sitting Duck
Does having a gun with you in the event of an attack guarantee survival? Of course not. Nothing can. But it doesn’t matter.
Don’t Trust Government to Keep Deals
President Trump decided to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, also known as the Iran Nuclear Agreement, and his critics are enjoying their opportunity to show concern. You can debate whether the deal had any legitimacy, whether it was a good idea, and what breaking the deal means, but you’d be missing the point. Agreements are meaningless to governments.
“Gun Control” is Collective Punishment
Anti-gun “laws”, anti-gun bigots dishonestly call them “gun control”, are nothing but collective punishment. Punishing innocent people for something someone else did– something they didn’t do and wouldn’t do– just because it’s too hard to do anything about what happened. And just because the solution isn’t what they want to do.
Statists are Welcome to Listen and Learn, or Not
They don’t want to hear that no matter how many people agree, those people can’t make a right out of thin air, and they can’t transfer an imaginary right created in this way to someone else to put it into action on it on their behalf in the name of “authority”.
Skeptical Kids
There’s a phenomenon I’ve noticed with kids. When I tell them something they didn’t already know, they often respond with “No!” They don’t even take time to consider what I’ve said; just reject it automatically.
Don’t Let Loved Ones Become Cops
They may have been a good person before they became a cop, but they can’t be good once they are a cop. A cop in the family is nothing to be proud of– almost anything else (including a crackhead or a $5 hooker) is better.
Anti-Gun Bigotry Will Not Prevent It
Another “gun free zone”; another mass murder. Enough is enough. Yet, the anti-gun activists will blame people who didn’t do it (they already are) for the acts of a couple of evil losers who did. It’s the same old story every time.
Government Explained
Is it OK for me to go into your house and take your stuff? What if I first write on a piece of paper that it’s OK for me to go into your house and take your stuff? Does that make it OK? What if I get a lot of people to agree with me that the permission slip I wrote for myself makes it OK?
