Help the
Underprivileged in Dangerous Neighborhoods to Protect Themselves
At the Armed Citizen Project, we’re on the front line of the
war against those who would trample our rights. But it’s not just a
matter of defending our rights. Gun grabbing is bad public policy, too, and
we remind people constantly how so much gun control for so long has
delivered so little in the way of meaningful results. We tell them an armed society is a polite society, that
lives are saved every day because armed people – good, solid
Americans who know the police can’t be everywhere all the time –
step up to stop crime. We know the places
with the most restrictive gun laws – Chicago, New York City,
Washington, D.C., Baltimore – are among the most dangerous
cities in the nation. We know neighborhoods in the cities
we focus on are safer when not only the bad
guys are armed but the good guys as
well.

Help the Underprivileged in Dangerous
Neighborhoods
We need your help to bring this safety and security to
America’s neighborhoods. We need to be heard in the debate over Second
Amendment rights. The story of Newtown – and Chicago, Washington, D.C.,
Baltimore and elsewhere – is not that there were insufficient gun
laws. The guns Adam Lanza used were legally purchased, legally
registered, legally stored. He and his mother had been trained in their
use.
The Armed Citizen Project can’t help in
Chicago, where the homicide total for 2013 has already surpassed the 200
mark or in DC whose once record setting murder rate is now being challenged
by the Windy City-- because of the weapons laws. Both cities continue to be
victimized by laws and local governments that restrict the rights of
citizens to bear arms and protect themselves.
The ban in D.C.
was lifted after the Supreme Court ruled in the Heller case that it was
unconstitutional. But the city has responded by erecting a system for
acquiring firearms that virtually nobody has the time or money to take
on.
BUT WE ARE HELPING IN THE PLACES WHERE WE ARE ABLE
TO.
We operate primarily in two cities now – Houston
and Tucson – but we’re growing and, with the help of you
and citizens like you who care about America’s future, we will
be a full-service nationwide operation before long.
Why? Because we need more than an active citizenry to defeat
those who don’t understand the Second Amendment, the will and character
of the American people or the stupidity of having large swaths of our major
cities where the bad guys are armed to the teeth and the good guys
are prevented by law from defending themselves.
We want
to be doing this in 15 cities by the end of this year. To do that, we need
your help. Your gift of $100 or $200 or even $500 will
help us train and arm law-abiding citizens to keep America’s
neighborhoods safe.
At the Armed Citizen Project, we go
into some of America’s toughest neighborhoods and even the score
between criminals and law-abiding citizens. We do this by training citizens
to use and store firearms responsibly and, if they desire, by presenting
them with a shotgun they can use to protect their homes, lives and
property.
We do this to help people such as Elbert Wood.
He’s a 93-year-old World War II veteran in Houston. He came home
from a doctor’s appointment in January to find his home vandalized. He
feared staying there and worried about what might happen if the people who
stole from him decided to come back. A lot of people lent a hand to
keep Mr. Wood safe. But we thought, “What more can we do? What can we
do to help Elbert Wood be prepared should something like this happen
again?”
At the Armed Citizen Project we
want to create a wave of new and responsible gun owners … people
who may never have considered owning or using a weapon before. We make sure
they are legally and mentally qualified, show them how to do it and help
them through the process of acquiring, licensing and using weapons.
And that is where we come in. Help us today. Your gift of $100 or $200 or even $500 could
help save a life that is near and dear to you. Thanks for reading
this. And thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely,
TK
