These are times that illustrate the reason the United States of America
were designed as a REPUBLIC and not a DEMOCRACY. Despite the insistence
of politicians to describe our republic as a democracy, it is at just
such times as these, of high emotion, that a republic was preferred and
not by just a little bit. All of the founders understood that a
democracy allows for the majority to decide individual rights based on
votes, based on emotion, based on prejudice, but that a republic is
designed to ensure individual rights against precisely the hysteria we
see in the wake of the Parkland shooting.
At the church I attended last Sunday, a sheriff deputy's car was parked
out front and the deputy sheriff was inside, armed and making eye
contact with everyone who entered. It was a bit odd to see him standing
there in uniform, but at many of the services I attend there are one or
two open carry individuals in the congregation, so it wasn't the idea of
the weapons being present, but by who presented them. This is the state
of our nation. Where there is an occasion for mass killings, there MUST
be armed resistance.
