Dear Human Events Reader,

A gang member smashed in your windshield with a baseball bat while you were stopped at the light. You were on his turf.

While buying coffee at the local convenience store a masked man walks in and demands the contents of the cash register. He shoots the clerk for $57 and you are lucky to be alive because you hid in another aisle.

While away at college your daughter was carjacked, shot, and now she is dead. Someone needed a body count for a gang initiation.

Violent crime as a career choice? Hey, why not? The jails are full so no worries about spending too much time there. It is completely acceptable to drop out of school and enter into the career of crime. A high school diploma is not nearly as profitable as a life on welfare, dealing drugs and stealing cars.

So look away, don't make eye contact, and pretend not to see what is going on so your local gang bangers don't get angry.

It doesn't matter where you are in this country anymore violent crime is around you. Gangs run with impunity. Try giving a description of the two men that robbed you and put a knife in your gut. We don't even know who is in this country so let's face it; you can't find and arrest them anyway.

You sick of it yet? Is your life worth protecting? Do you have the means to protect yourself? Do you have the skills?

The United States Concealed Carry Association is all about tactics to keep you alive. So here is what I would like to offer you: A free newsletter on concealed carry and self defense tactics. It's Free! This is a no brainer folks. Get armed and carry with confidence. Your life depends on you knowing what to do in a hostile situation and the USCCA is all about keeping you alive.

I'll Pay the First $10! I'll pay $10 towards a membership for you to join the National Rifle Association. Instead of $35 you click here and for only $25 you get a full NRA membership. Thank you to all that have joined because every member counts. Soon the Wise Latina will be packing to head to the Supreme Court. You know she is not a friend of the 2nd Amendment. We will have some legal battles ahead. We need to stand in solidarity and joining the NRA is the best way to do just that. It is simple: Join if you like guns and you want to keep them. Join or become like Chicago, New York, Detroit, Los Angles, and Boston where the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has been destroyed.
