“You’ll Have To Make A Decision Now . . . Right Now!”
During the recent terrorist attack in London, hundreds of British citizens cowered in pubs and restaurants, completely defenseless, due to the strict gun control laws in the UK. Many police officers were also unarmed, unable to help, and suffered injuries along with the civilian victims of the attack.
“Be Armed, Be Mentally Prepared, Make Terrorists Defend Their Lives for a Change”
Florida’s Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey wants all law-abiding Americans to “arm up, get familiar with their firearm, and be ready to make terrorists worry about defending their own lives, for a change.”
According to nationalgunrights.org: Gun-grabbing officials in the U.K. tell their citizenry to “run, hide, tell,” in response to terrorism, but a Florida county sheriff is publicly rejecting this advice, saying “you win a war by fighting, not running.”
Ivey explained his strategy in the video below which he posted following the deadly attacks on unarmed, law-abiding Londoners. After studying terrorist attacks around the world, Ivey observed:
“Terrorists and active shooters are using every weapon available to target citizens. Guns, knives, trucks, hammers, and even explosives have all become the weapon of choice for murderers who only have one goal–killing innocent and law-abiding citizens. It seems that almost everyday we hear of another attack taking place at a concert, tourist destination, church, business, or anywhere else in the world where they can strike fear in the hearts of citizens.”
According to Breitbart:
Ivey urged Americans to take their safety seriously and to determine to be “the first line of defense” against a terror attack. He stressed, “Let me be perfectly clear, doing nothing or just hoping it won’t happen to you is not going to save your life.”
He points out that “terrorists and active shooters know that our citizens have been coached to run and hide, and then patiently await help.” He said attackers “count on” Americans to respond this way, then added, “What they don’t count on is being attacked themselves.” Ivey says it is time to be prepared to counterattack; to be armed and ready to make the terrorists fight to defend their own lives for a change, should they strike.”
Ivey went on to say:
“No matter who you are or what your position is on guns, there is no denying the fact that the only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun–or a knife–is an armed and well-prepared citizen or law enforcement officer. There is no doubt that as soon as 911 is called law enforcement is on the way, however, until they arrive it is up to you and those with you to neutralize or eliminate the threat.”
