We can't just hide under the bed when the barrage of anti-gun rhetoric heats up after a horrific killing event. We can't just sit here and fire off editorials defending our positions.
We have to do something proactive.
We gun owners need to be constantly aware of what is going on around us... situational awareness, it's called. Beyond being aware of the physical dangers of some lunatic with a gun doing something in our space, we need to be aware of other gun owners who might be on their way "over the edge." A guy who talks about killing cops really has no business spinning the cylinder on a .38. A guy who talks about killing blacks, whites or any other segment of our society has no business toting a gun around.
Don't be to blame. Be proactive. If you spot trouble coming, notify the authorities. You might just save a life or many lives without ever firing a single shot.
