I watched as events unfolded today and couldn't believe my eyes, there were 10s of thousands of Americans begging the government to take their constitutional rights from them. I can't think of a thing that would be more un-American.
Literally millions have laid their lives on the line to protect the rights these people just want to piss away. What the hell are they teaching in the government halls of indoctrination as a pretense for education? It damn sure isn't American values.
Your thoughts.
My thoughts? Some believe a gun is a symbol of liberty and justice; others that it is a tool misused to take away the life, liberty and happiness of too many innocents.
Millions have given their lives in defense of our country, but some of them (Lt. Calley, for an example) misuse these tools even though they are well trained and have policies which they have chosen to ignore.
Liars claim that the hidden agenda of those who see a problem and seek a solution want to repeal the 2nd A.; pragmatic people see the harm done by weapons of war used by untrained and unfettered persons are a problem too, and seek to mitigate it with reasoned and common sense restrictions.
Liars use the slippery slope logical fallacy that any effort to control the use, possess and custody of a gun is the first step in the confiscation of all guns in America. Such a claim is absurd, prohibitions never work, and the cost to do so would be prohibitive.
