So I saw this in passing last week but didn’t really have time to watch it or talk about it. Alan posted it today and well it gave me the urge to comment. So to start off with watch the video.
First off is with its emphasis on running and hiding the immediate thought was of Bert the Turtle and if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Here is an educational video from on how to survive a nuclear attack, like the above, this one is made by your government.
At least with Bert it made a little bit of sense because you couldn’t do anything to change or alter the damage from a nuclear weapon.
Amazingly though this video does give some insight that we can all take home. The first notable item is that the attacker plainly and clearly ignored a gun free zone declaration on the door, this can be seen at 1:00. Attackers do this to know their victims cannot fight back. Attacks frequently happen within gun-free zones, including the most recent one. Secondly it guarantees the outcome discussed and noted at 4:20, specifically:
Improvise Weapons
It’s pretty hard to improvise a weapon equivalent to firearm, doubly so when you know the attacker has one.
Even the agency which put this video together admits what the pro-rights side of the argument has said from the beginning. A criminal intent on doing harm will not be effected or restrained by law. The intended victims of the attacker however will be left without the most effective means of self-defense.
Next up are the comments about first responders at 4:40. Let this be a lesson to everyone because it is correct. They are not there to evacuate you, they are not there to give you medical aid, they are there to stop the threat and secure the area so that medics and other emergency personal can do that. Just because the Johnny Law has shown up doesn’t mean you are safe, that you are clear, or will receive immediate medical attention. Let me translate this for people who still may not understand.
You are still on your own!
Emergency services will arrive on scene when they can, there is no guarantee for the response time for either medical personal or police to show up with their guns since this particular location wouldn’t let you have yours.
Hopefully the gun grabbers are crying in their beer because even the educational videos on surviving mass shootings emphasize the lack of rationality in their logic. Can you say “Winning?”
*Overall I think the video was actually well done and decently educational. I am not going to go running through an area looking for the shooter, but if I see him and have an opportunity I will fight, I will not run. Running just serves to allow others to become victims or allow him a chance to shoot me in the back.
TMM is the owner, editor, and principal author at The Minuteman, a competitive shooter, and staff member for Boomershoot. Even in his free time he’s merging his love and knowledge of computers and technology with his love of firearms.
Many know his private name and information however due to the current political climate, many are distancing themselves due to the abandonment of Due Process.
