From day one, the Obama Administration has tried to drive home the notion that Americans don’t need guns to defend themselves. Each week, the National Rifle Association, public enemy #1 to nanny state liberals, posts stories about armed citizens doing just that. This latest one is a perfect illustration of why the Second Amendment is so important:
88-year-old Arlene Orms was at home alone in Miami, Fla. when an intruder kicked in her door. Orms responded by retrieving a .25-caliber pistol and firing at the home invader, prompting the criminal to flee.
Following the incident, Orms’ neighbors expressed support for her actions, with one telling a local media outlet, “You have to do something… You have to protect yourself.”
This story is just another reminder: for the physically meek, the disabled, and the otherwise disadvantaged, a gun can be a great equalizer against the sort of evil people who would do harm, especially an 88 year old woman who suddenly finds herself set upon by thugs. We should be ever vigilant against those who would try and take that right away.
