Why you need Firearm? Why to apply Firearm Liecence?
Posted: Sun Nov 29, 2009 11:07 pm
Hello IFGian's, I started this post for a reason, a reason I and many other IFGians believe in, IMPLEMENTATON of RKBA. Let me inform everyone over here, I and many other Ifgians supporting this cause, hold licensed firearms. I have a license and should get my Handgun soon. Still, these guys are supporting RKBA to be implemented in a much better way in India. The Question to Answer here is Why? Why do members already in possession of Arms License and Fire Arm want to promote RKBA? I would like the members over here to answer on their behalf. As of now, I would only answer myself.
Let me take all you back to 26/11. I had to meet my client, the meeting was scheduled on 26/11 at Taj @ 19:30 hrs, fortunately the client didn’t get a booking at TAJ and booked himself in Grand Maratha and the meeting was scheduled at 15:00 hrs. We finished the meeting and left from their at 16:45 hrs, reached home at 18:00 hrs and late was enjoying my dinner with family, when I came to know about the tragic events. 10 armed terrorists entered our country and held it hostage for 60 deadly hours.
I didn't have any relative or anyone known to me in that incident. Having said that, can I say that the people who were killed or injured in that incident weren't related to me in any way? If I say so, I would be fooling myself. I was fortunate enough that I didn't meet my client in Taj and further the meeting didn’t last for long. Still I feel pathetic, I feel helpless, I feel like I am dying by every second, when I see those videos made on 26/11, when I see my countrymen being slaughtered in the most inhumane way. You can imagine the fear that was induced in thousands of us just by looking the live coverage of that massacre. Till today, I only ask one question to myself. God forbid, either I or any of my countrymen could be involved in such a terrifying situation.
Still, we can’t rule out the possibility of such an attack, when our elected politicians pass comments like “Bade, Bade Desheion me aisi chootti Chooti baatien hoti raheti Hain". This is the specific reason that people like me and many other on this site are trying our best to promote RKBA, to arm each and every Law abiding citizen and providing them the right to protect themselves, to protect the people they love the most, to protect the job they have hard earned, to protect the property they have built by slogging day and night. Don’t you think, that on 26/11, if some of the law abiding citizens were armed, this massacre could have been minimized, if not avoided. Guys, the human tendency reacts best to one thing and one thing only, the instinct of Survival. If the victims involved in 26/11, were armed. They would have fought back, yes they would have, not because of anything but only because they wanted to survive, they wanted to live, they wanted to protect themselves and their loved ones but what means did they have when they were pushed against the walls, ready to be slaughtered! Nothing but pray to god, pray that some miracle will save them.
Let me say a famous saying over here, "God Helps those who want to help themselves".
The only thing, I want to express here is that, I have a Arms License and would soon be in possession of Firearm but still want to fight for RKBA, like many others on this site, Why, Why? Answer is: I don’t want to loose my right! I want Indian law abiding citizens to enable themselves to protect their own lives. I don’t want myself and my family members to Mourn for our countrymen for 2 minutes and get back to our daily routines to wait for another act of terrorism to take place or to criticize the government for its failures. It’s not only the failure of Government; it’s the failure of each and every one of us. Hence, please support the movement, please file your grievance, the post started by Eternalme again providing a opportunity to 2600 odd IFG members to fight for their rights In which only 18 or 20 grievances have been filed till date, a very disappointing result.
Vote on Gun Owners foundation of India, support Mundaire for the movement he wanted to start for the benefit of our country but had to stall the process due to lack of support. All these guys are putting their efforts for people like you and me, lets support them. Your responses shall mean a lot, as some of the members are trying to start a movement, trying to fight for yours and my freedom to live independently but are disappointed due to lack of support. So let’s support them, which in turn will help us.
If not, then lets remove the RKBA section from here, where people only comment without meaning. I know that some may not take this post in the right spirit but guys I and each and everyone is trying to fight for every Indian citizen to have the right, Right to Live. Rest, I leave it to members to comment, I won’t mind any negative posts. Because I don’t want 26/11 to repeat again, I don’t want to mourn the death of innocents. I won’t give up, would fight till the very end and support in every possible and legal way the members fighting for RKBA.
Jai Hind-
