Evil preys on the innocent; criminals’ prey on the weak.

I recall an interview that was done with a hardened criminal. He was shown a series of pictures of people and asked who he would choose to attack. He consistently chose people who were old, weak, or distracted. Much like the lion on the savannah, they have their best chance of success with these three groups.

When society attaches minor penalties for these behaviors, then we can expect to see more of these crimes, and the criminal class will flourish. For far too long, we have allowed this to continue! We must have zero tolerance for the abuse of these tender souls.

Throughout the ages, evil people have oppressed the weak. They take whatever advantage they have—physical strength, economic might, or political power—and they use it to oppress and control the weak and innocent. Countless children are mentally and physically abused. Countless women are beaten and raped. Countless people are enslaved by the systems of control created by those evil few without moral integrity.

Control in all forms is an affront to God. He gave us our agency and personal freedoms, and those who seek to take them away will be accountable to God for their actions. Nobody controls another by mistake. No, it is a deliberate decision made with full intent. God knows our hearts and minds and there will be no excuse for these behaviors.

Thomas Jefferson’s personal motto was “Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.” That should be the rallying cry to all of us as we seek to repel the evil forces we encounter.

As men and women of strong moral character, we must be vigilant in protecting those who are not able to protect themselves. We must keep a careful watch for those with evil intent. They lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Waiting to take from others for their own personal gain. They steal personal property which the owners worked hard to purchase. They violate rights of personal security and peace. They physically attack and intimidate with their violent crimes. They steal innocence and personal dignity from rape victims. They steal personal freedom from human trafficking victims. They leave in their wake fear, shame, and hopelessness.

Fortunately, they are the minority. By most estimates, they represent only 3-5% of the population.

This group has embraced evil and has managed to suppress their conscience to the point they feel no regret for their evil deeds. They often use physical force to gain advantage over their victims.

This is one of the key reasons why our founding fathers codified the right to “Keep and Bear Arms” in our Second Amendment to the Constitution. They knew that both tyrants with armies, and lone criminals, could be kept in check if the populace remains armed. It is not surprising that those who wish to control us continually argue to remove this right by pointing to the criminals who commit mass shootings or violent crimes as reasons to take our guns, as if that will somehow make everyone safe. This is flawed logic from the start.

Criminals will have guns no matter what, as it turns out they don’t obey laws, and it is only the moral majority, armed with guns, who keep them in check.

Over the past few years, many brave citizens have foiled the plans of the criminals by acting quickly to counter their attacks. There should not be any restrictions that limit our ability to Keep and Bear Arms at all times and in all places to protect ourselves, our loved ones, and anyone else in harm’s way.

When the evil and criminally inclined believe we, the Moral Majority, will remain passive, they are emboldened to be more aggressive. They commit atrocities in broad daylight, and they mock our resolve to keep peace in our communities. They must be made aware that we will not stand idly by as they commit their crimes against our elderly, our women, and our children.

In addition to vigilance from the moral majority, our laws must be enforced to have the desired effect. The criminals must understand that the consequences of their actions will not be waived, and that justice will be swift for their crimes.

Countries that have strict laws on crime tend to have little crime. We must have penalties that act as a strong deterrent to would be criminals.

We are many; they are few. God is on our side, and until the final judgment, He is counting on us to do our part.

Therefore, We Shall Protect the Weak and Innocent.
