Haha well first of all, a false sense of protection is what you have : The false ideal that the police have an obligation to protect you and the false belief that even if they have the opportunity to protect you, that they will put themselves in harms way to do so. If you believe that you should read up on incidents like columbine and VT where the cops sat around and listened to people die while they cowered behind their body armor. And this "boogeyman" is in every ghetto and trailor park in America, the boogieman is the spirit of everyone who would rather take from you what you have earned rather than go out and get it themselves. Liberals seem to make the mistake of thinking that everyone in the world is as much of a pussy as they are. Do you think that you progressive ideoligies are going to tug on a rapists heart strings? Do you think that a armed robber cares about your compassion for his circumstances. Liberalism is a fantastical ideology brought upon by the lack of a reality check(being vicimized) while a gun is an anchor that can hold you down to earth/reality.
