Sarah Palin shared the following Townhall article by Neil Boortz via her Facebook page earlier today:
You’re snug in your cabin in the mountains outside of Big Bear,
California. Snug, but fearful. They’re searching for a killer near you. A
terrifying, heavily armed former cop from Los Angeles who has gone on a
killing rampage.
Suddenly you hear gunshots. You part the curtains to look outside ...
and there’s the man whose picture you’ve seen countless times on TV
over the past few days running toward your house as he returns fire to
police officers in pursuit.
Just a few weeks ago you had been considering buying an AR-15 just in
case it might be needed to defend your home from predators of the two
and the four-legged variety. They don’t call the place Big Bear for
nothing. You couldn’t buy one, though, because private ownership of
these weapons had been outlawed. That didn’t stop the killer. He was
carrying one ... that along with several pistols. The law didn’t seem to
deter him at all. The murderer was still far enough away that you could
stop him with one shot through your window, but that option had been
taken away by anti-gun zealots.
Somehow you don’t feel comfortable with only your handgun and it’s
seven-shot magazine to protect you from this approaching danger. You
know the killer, who is rapidly nearing your door, is much more heavily
armed than you. Things aren’t looking all that rosy for you and your
family right now.
Why did this have to happen? Why were these liberals -- these
Democrats -- so hell-bent on reducing your capacity to act in your own
self-defense in a situation just such as this? More
