It amazes me how many Americans I have conversed with who mistakenly believe that they somehow have a constitutional right which guarantees them protection on a personal level. The Supreme Court on multiple occasions has demonstrated in its rulings that this is clearly not the case, as justices have gone on record stating that law enforcement does not have a constitutional duty to protect an individual citizen from harm. If you review the errant perception held by many who have this misconception of a government afforded protection from a statistical standpoint, you can see how it is physically impossible for law enforcement to guarantee personal protection for every American citizen. We live in a nation of roughly 300,000,000 people. I have seen estimates that the number of sworn law enforcement personnel on our streets at any given time totals about 100,000. Even if this number were five, or even ten times higher, if you do the simple math, you can see how it would still be impossible for law enforcement to protect everyone, even if they wanted to. Now add to this, all of the legal restrictions that have been placed on law enforcement by our liberal lawmakers, and the problem becomes even more greatly compounded. It is an established fact of law as demonstrated in over ten Supreme Court as well as State Court cases that in the end individuals are responsible for their own personal safety as well as that of their families. Law enforcement does the best that it can with the manpower and resources it has, but as the number of violent criminals increase, their work load becomes even greater. It is time for Americans to stop blaming someone else and take responsibility for their own safety and well being by coming to the realization that you are your first line of defense. To be fore warned is to be fore armed, so let this be duly noted by the reader.
I have included two videos for your viewing enjoyment. The first one is from Boston Massachusetts, a liberal state that is notorious for disarming its citizens. Watch as apathetic and fearful citizens walk and drive by for the longest time doing nothing as a law enforcement officer is in dire need of assistance:

Now watch this video from Texas, where there is a slightly different attitude about personal protection, as well as the safety and well being of others:

Just look at the ratio of public servants to citizens. Consider Hurricane Katrina, the delayed response time and the attrocities committed in the city while they waited. And that was a localized event. What if there our entire nation was affected by the likes of an EMP attack or large earthquake? We have to take our protection into our own hands. http://tinyurl.com/d5ovu2
