Could any of you imagine what that occupy wall street thing would have been like if the second amendment was not on the books?
If Washington wants it gone, it will go sooner or later. I think most people will just go along with it, and the ones that don't will get a new label. Since the AWB resurgence I have found myself trying, in vain, to explain to people around me this is more than just about the "GUNS". I keep thinking about the phrase, "If you give an inch, they'll take a mile." First, the second amendment is gone, then the first amendment and so on. Sad thing is, I don't think there will be enough people to stand up like our framers did so long ago. Not that I am suggesting it.
Maybe people feel too safe in their homes, the feeling that we are protected from other countries is too strong, or too much trust has been put in the powers that be? Who knows the cause?
I could be wrong, and I hope I am, but I think our ship has sailed and it is only a matter of time.
I do know one thing for sure. This country is devided in too many ways. Left, right, whatever... We need to find some middle ground or God help us all.
Just my two cents, and maybe not worth a penny, but there it is.
