Stay safer. Avoid criminal behavior and criminals.

An article  about a recent murder jogged my memory.  (”Fatal knife attack not a shock.  The female suspect has a history of attacking people with a blade.”  Mitchell, Kirk, The Denver Post, Denver Newspaper Agency, Denver, Colorado, 06-15-08, Page 1-B.)  This non-gun attack caused me to recollect an interesting statistic about murder.  As I remember, about seventy percent of killers and about fifty percent of their victims have criminal records.

The fairly obvious conclusion that we can draw from this information is that, if you don’t want to be murdered, don’t commit crimes and don’t associate with criminals.  Of course, this approach flies in the face of liberal political correctness, which postulates that even the most violent career criminals deserve “another chance.”  In their view, we are apparently all criminals at heart.  We have just not yet been pushed over the edge by the pressures of our “heartless” capitalist society or exposed to the demonic influences of “evil” guns, whose very presence could cause us to snap.

There are in the neighborhood of 80,000,000 gun owners in the U.S.  On any given day, 99.99 percent of those gunowners and their guns do not commit crimes.  The guns, of course, commit no crimes on their own, although there are probably some liberals who would disagree with that statement.  On the other hand, every day, criminals murder each other, law enforcement personnel, and innocent civilians with everything from guns, to kitchen knives to rocks.  Given their long history of use, rocks have probably killed more humans than any other weapon.  (Why isn’t there a movement to ban rocks?  We could start with registration and restrictive licensing.  You know, I always thought there was something strange about rock collectors.) 

While we are waiting for the anti-rock campaign to start, I strongly recommend that you reduce your risk of being murdered.  Don’t engage in criminal behavior and don’t associate with people who do.  If it only saves one life, it’s worth it.

    Can you tell me what’s the difference between a free background check and a paid background check?
