ALERT: THE FAILURE OF THE GOVERNMENT PROTECTION HOAX

Innocents continue to die and the Beltway sniper taunts,
“Your children are not safe.” Meanwhile, millions of disarmed
citizens naively rely on a government that obviously can’t
protect them.

A sniper is a menace that’s difficult for anyone to combat,
but we wonder just how bold this sneaky shooter would be if
he knew that witnesses might be walking around with carbines
with folding stocks strapped to their backs — or that citizens
might greet him with a volley of pistol fire. (Some of this
coward’s shots have apparently been taken from within the
range of a good pistol shooter.)

Instead of protecting themselves, the disarmed citizens of
east coast “gun control” havens cower in their homes in terror
and keep their children out of school.

Instead of being overwhelmed by strong and watchful citizens,
the sniper teases police. And the police, in their desperation
to catch him, have taken to randomly handcuffing innocent men
who happen to have the wrong skin color and be driving the
wrong color of van. (See the photo at

NO LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY TO PROTECT YOU

No doubt the police of Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia
would like to stop the sniper and protect the citizens. But
they can’t — and they have no legal responsibility to do so.
The myth of police protection is one of the cruelest lies and
most widespread misperceptions in America today.

In fact, in most places, _police don’t even have a duty to
show up when you call 911!_ And courts have ruled again and
again that police have NO responsibility to protect you from
any threat, no matter how well-known or obvious. Attorney
Richard W. Stevens exploded the illusion of government
protection in his book _Dial 911 and Die: The Shocking Truth
About the Police Protection Myth_
(see http://www.jpfo.org/dial911anddie.htm )

He did it again in his examination of _Zelig vs. County of
Los Angeles_ (http://www.jpfo.org/commonsense14.htm) — a
blatant case in which the County of Los Angeles forced a
woman to come to a courthouse to confront a man who had
repeatedly made threats against her. Police had made no
attempt to disarm the man. But when the man — predictably –
shot the woman to death right in the very center of “law and
order” — the California Supreme Court said that was just
fine. The shooter was at fault, but the police and other
legal authorities were not.

THE ONLY RELIABLE LONG-TERM PROTECTION

No society is ever free from all threats and dangers. Evil
people do their deeds in the best of societies. But it should
be obvious by now that evil people get away with the most evil
deeds in places where they know that law-abiding citizens are
forbidden to protect themselves.

Columbine — a gun-free school zone.

September 11, 2001 — gun-free airports and airplanes.

And now, a sniper rampaging through the heart of one of the
nation’s strictest “gun-control” zones.

When are we going to get the connection?

This is the fact: If you want to really protect yourself, you
need to bring about a Bill of Rights culture.

In a Bill of Rights culture, you’ll be free to carry the
weapons you need to defend yourself, your family, and your
community. Potential criminals are going to have to weigh
the risk to themselves any time they think about doing their
evil deeds. In a Bill of Rights culture, people will understand
that _they are responsible for themselves_, that they are free
adults, not passive children huddling under a nanny-government’s
skirts.

Until we have a culture that understands, respects, and lives
by the entire Bill of Rights, you can count on more of this
craziness. And more of the horrible helplessness that goes
with it.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS IS THE ULTIMATE SELF-DEFENSE TOOL.

Some tools for helping to build a Bill of Rights culture:

* “I Will Live Free” ( http://www.jpfo.org/livefree.htm ),
JPFO’s new audio CD of songs celebrating the Bill of Rights,
can help you win hearts and minds — and lift your own spirit
in these frightening times.

* What happens when the government holds monopoly power over
firearms? How do licensing and registration schemes kill?
Read the bone-chilling facts in _Death by “Gun Control”: The
Human Cost of Victim Disarmament_
( http://www.jpfo.org/deathgc.htm . Get two free “Gran’pa
Jack” booklets with your order.

* If America no longer has a Bill of Rights culture, what
kind of government does it have? In _The State vs. the People_
( http://jpfo.org/tsvtp.htm ) Claire Wolfe and Aaron Zelman
show, step-by-step, using historical and modern examples,
that America’s government increasingly resembles those of
European police states.

* Read the Bill of Rights in 11 languages!
( http://jpfo.org/bor.htm )

* Buy, read, and distribute Gran’pa Jack #3, “It’s Common
Sense to Use Our Bill of Rights,” and Gran’pa Jack #5, “The
United Nations is Killing Your Freedoms!”
