perfect example of condition white -- he had no idea he was about to be mugged. that is extremely instructive.
it's important to point out that, should you desire to be free, you will have to spend some of your day, every day, in condition yellow, no matter what.
this is why a gun alone is not enough. fortunately, it is never alone: it is by your side. and you have a mind and therefore a mindset to consider.
this is why "just buying a gun" is such a laughable oversimplification of the question of whether or not guns make you safe. tranzis hear that and they think the gun owner is talking about a magic ward against evil. for total lack of experience, this genius michael might as well have had precisely that.
in reality, all law abiding gun owners have already cultivated the awareness. that is why they now own and carry a gun. does having a gun make you safe? yes, the process of it does. an active change, not a single gunless state compared to another "gun-ful" state.
statism takes on a whole new meaning when you look at how these statistician-worshipping types think.
it is not true, reflective thought.
