Today I went to the Gun Show with some friends and it caught my attention the variety of different people I saw there. Men, women, children, military, hunters, law enforcement, collectors, marksman…..Zombie Killer. What? Zombie Killer? Really?
For each type of person attending there were at least four times the amount of products catering to that person. Yes, even the Zombie Killer. I noticed this trend starting several years ago with a surge in zombie movies coming out of Hollywood, leaving zombie movie enthusiasts with the burning question…..What if zombies come, will I be ready? What is my zombie plan?
Naturally, people would have to begin preparing for such an apocalyptic nightmare. They must acquire the weapons to kill these creatures and hone their skills in the mean time. Praise to the capitalist for seeing this demand and providing a vast supply of zombie targets to meet it. Now people can adequately prepare for the zombie apocalypse and God bless our fellow Americans they want to help others prepare as well. One individual was wearing a t-shirt, which read, “Ask me about my Zombie plan!” No doubt excited to share his expertise with the next brother or sister ready to take up arms against the enemy.
As silly as it all seems, and how paranoid you may think the people are who attend gun shows, I saw something entirely different.
Our Creator provided us with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Our Founding Fathers were smart enough to know that these things must be fought for and defended at all times…..they gave us the Constitution and it’s Bill of Rights. More specifically they gave us the 2nd Amendment.
“A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
The threat of a Zombie Apocalypse is right around the corner. There is always a risk of losing our unalienable rights to evil people and tyrannical governments. The whole zombie killing phenomenon is just a pop-culture inspired way for people to lighten the mood. Society today makes mere gun ownership seem taboo and having multiple guns, learning about those guns and actually shooting those guns regularly makes you a right wing nut job! The mindset is wrong! You do not want a plumber who owns one wrench and replaces a sink drain 2-3 times a year to re pipe your house. You would prefer the veteran surgeon over the med-student when having your triple-bypass heart surgery. Why does a familiarity with firearms make those individuals more risky? Answer: it doesn’t.
Being prepared should not be synonymous with being paranoid. You don’t have car insurance because you are paranoid about getting in a wreck. You most likely have it just in case but the key is, you have it. There is not a one policy fits all approach by insurance agencies either, a wide range of policies exist to fit different peoples situations. Your neighbor may have a more expensive car or a teenage driver or likes the peace of mind of a little bit more coverage.
Our Founding Fathers knew The People were the key check and balance to government’s power, not only with their votes and ability to petition the government for redress of grievances but the ability to defend their God given rights.
If you don’t have a zombie plan, you should think about getting one. If you don’t know where to start, Ask me about my Zombie Plan!
