One Little Lamb, LLC stands with El Paso

Obviously, this does not have anything to do with "lambs and sheep," but wanted to comment on this nevertheless...

This is getting real wearing, but we also stand with Odessa law enforcement, and the innocent bystanders who have been murdered.

August 4, 2019

     We here at One Little Lamb condemn this madman shooter as a coward.  He is a criminal and thug, and we need to rid our country of crazy men like him.  It is scary he comes from Allen, TX, a suburb of Dallas where I am from.  I have been to El Paso on many occasions for my work.  It is scary to think that a place you frequent has been involved in a mass shooting.  It is very scary.  Further scary, he is from Dallas.  Allen is a suburb in the highly prized living neighborhood of Allen, TX in north Dallas.  It is very scary to think this guy has been living, breathing, and doing business in your very own neighborhood.

     Anyway, he is a coward, and does not represent anyone, and he hurt any cause to advance our nation to a higher level.  

     To the people of El Paso, Mexico, and to all the immigrants out there, our heartfelt sympathies to any family out there who may have lost dear loved ones.  We are sorry, and this crazed madman does not represent Texas, Americans, Dallasonians, or anyone.

     No one ever accomplishes anything murdering people.  What could you accomplish doing that???  He is a coward, and it is disturbing, scary, unusual, sad, and disgusting what he has done.

Regarding Odessa...

     No question, all this shooting around the country is wearing.  Are things going to get any better going forward?  I certainly do not agree with CBS, and other "main stream media," that the solution is we need to restrict gun sales.  We are ready now in this country to get back to a place where law abiding citizens can carry guns.  The perpetrators will not stop their shooting rampage to wait for law enforcement to arrive.  If everyone were carrying guns, the gunman would have been shot almost instantaneously.  We need good law abiding citizens, everyone specially trained, and armed to take out these cowards.

     Example where NO one is armed:  Gunman walks into a bank, and says, "Everybody on the ground, this is a stick up."  Everyone hits the deck in fear.

     Example where ALL law abiding citizens are armed:  Gunman walks into a bank, and says, "Everybody on the ground, this is a stick up."  Most everybody takes out their gun in confidence and say, "No, how about you stick 'em up."  

     We lost a 7 month old baby today b/c we don't have reasonable gun laws in our country, and people are way too reliant on a failing government for relief.  I love my country, but our failing government, especially in its state of democracy right now, will never be adequate nor capable of meeting the needs of the people.

     I believe in a republic.  We were founded as a republic.  So long as you are not hurting, harming, or bothering anybody, you have a right to do whatever it is you want to do.  Most certainly, you can carry a gun if you are an innocent, law abiding good citizen.  More than that, we now desperately in our country need good people to be carrying guns.

     The only time you can restrict a person's freedom and rights, is if then they go out and hurt or harm others.  Only then can you lose your rights.  But you don't take away the rights of ALL citizens, b/c a remote few cowards out there would go shooting at unarmed crowds of civilians.  

     We were founded as a republic.  So long as you are are not hurting, harming, or bothering anybody you have the right to start a business, drive a car, and do whatever it is you want to do.  As soon as you  endanger other people, or cause harm to another person, then your rights can be taken away from you.  But not a good law abiding citizen, which is most people.  Most people are good people.  There are not too many people that want to go shooting into open crowds of people.  MOST people want to pursue happiness, and we need to unleash your desire.  It's a fundamental law of nature:  Restrict a man's freedom, and you restrict the advancement of society as a whole.

     Example:  If you cannot cook a meal in your home, then go sell it for a profit to start a business, then we are NOT free.

       It is great that we can go out in the streets, and out in the world here in America, and if we keep ourselves out of trouble, we can remain safe, and we have our brave men and women in uniform to thank for that, police officers and military personnel.  But I am greatly disturbed at the direction of our country right now where basic freedoms are taken away from us.

       You are not free if you have to ask the government for permission to start a business such as if you want to prepare food and sell it.  This is the same as having to ask the Chinese government for permission to go into business.  We are essentially asking permission from our government to go in business, and you cannot even open up your business until you get the proper permits from the government that can take months, and thousands or more of dollars in permitting and legal bills.  This is not right.

       People throughout all of history and throughout all of time, when they needed money for survival cooked up a meal and sold it to people for provisions.  It is basic and necessary for the survival of yourself and mankind.  When you are not free to do something so basic and fundamental to human survival and production, we are NOT a FREE society.

       If we are not a free society, and we rely on government to solve our problems, we will not be a prosperous nation.  You are basically saying you rely upon politicians to solve all your problems, and make the rules.  The government cannot and has never produced anything.  The only way a government has money is if the people produced it, and gave it to the government.  The government, ANY government, takes, the people provide/give.

       The ONLY way to have a successful flourishing nation ANYWHERE in ANY TIME PERIOD, is a government with checks and balances, limited rule by those in power, and the mindset of law enforcement that they are here to serve and protect the people, not hinder their ability to freedom.  As soon as you hinder freedom, you constrict, and kill any chances for an innovative flourishing nation.  Having representatives of the people is good, but you MUST have checks and balances, limited power by those who rule, and FREEDOM for all mankind!!!  You most certainly would not have blanket immunity for prosecutors which is something our government has approved in the last several decades.  

       When the government decides what you can and cannot do, strips you of your freedoms, and decides for you what you can or cannot do, we will fail as a nation.  It is a fundamental law: restrict the freedom of the people and you choke the greatest potential for a nation to prosper.  It is evidenced by the fact that China, Russia, and other middle eastern nations are becoming stronger and now more powerful than the United States.  Because we are a democracy instead of the republic with freedoms like we were founded.

       It is a basic fundamental law of nature and physics.  Just as gravity works by a natural observable law of nature.  When the people are not free, you constrict, and hinder the ability of your nation to prosper.

(A Footnote:  Just because I believe we were founded as a republic, does not mean I do not follow current law.  I have a driver's license, and do all the things our democratic government requires of me.  I just don't agree with it.

       Also, unfortunately, our country is not perfect.  EVERYONE should have been given these rights when we were founded.  I certainly do not believe in any human being considered "less of a human," than someone else, in slavery, or less rights afforded to one gender over another.  This was a mistake of the founding of our country.  It's awkward for sure to talk about, but MOST people throughout ALL of history, including during the time of slavery, disagree with slavery.  A small group of powerful very wealthy individuals caused that, and it is something we need to be wary of today also.  Too much power in the hands of a few, will result in evil.  We need checks and balances, power limited by those who rule and government, and freedom for ALL people.  Then we will be a powerful flourishing nation, just as we became the most powerful nation in the world because man was given a taste of freedom.  Even to this day, to speak out against it is tough.  We are still the most powerful nation in the world, but we are losing that grip.  The main culprit is we are NOT free, our ability and incentive to innovate to flourish is diminishing, and the principle and primary reason for our failing is, we are a democracy.

       In a democracy, majority rules.  Which means your rights can be taken away from you depending on the liberal or conservative faction in office.  In a republic, it does not matter who holds the majority, as a human you have a RIGHT to FREEDOM, and you can do whatever you want to do, so long as you are not hurting, harming, or bothering anyone else.)
