lol. Jesus Lord, you love those fetters of yours, don't you!
I guess those first Americans should have just bought that damned tea, right?
Accepted those stamps?
Sat idly by as warrantless searches and seizures by corrupt agents of the State?
Thanked King and Country when their sons were pressed into service against their wills, used against their own families?
As their powder and ball was being seized, they should have just contacted Parliament to change the laws and respect their Rights as Englishmen?
Kissed the ring as their own representative governments were dissolved by bureaucrats appointed by the crown?
The State has always used violence or the threat of violence to cow a populace into subservience. It's what government is - force. And it always stands opposed to the People and the Public Liberty.
The difference between the Free Man and the Slave is that Free Men live how they will despite the threats of the State; the Slave is ruled by those same threats.
You explain the punishment the State will exact against any Citizen that exercises his or her Rights without the permission of the State and paying for the privilege, as though anyone here who dares preach such threats as immoral is ignorant of the law.
Most of us ar far more versed in the law, as both written and applied than you think. It's original intent, and how it's been perverted in a systematic design to reduce We, the People into slavery.
If the government can't scare people into behaving a certain way that violates Our Rights, what makes you think your post about the big scary boogeyman and what he'll do if we don't behave is going to accomplish?
And drop that whole "what will the Leftists think" crap. There's no amount of niceness or law-abiding behavior that gun owners could perform that will win them over and stop their unrelenting assault on our Rights. There's nothing we can do that will quench their thirst for control and to have their irrational fears and juvenile feelings accommodated enough to satisfy them.
I will not live my life in a diminished way, as a less Free Man on account of their opinions.
When I think of what it will take to hold what shred of Liberty we have left to us, and realize it may depend on those who are only willing to be as free as the government allows, I tremble for my Country.
SPM...I truly believe you were born 240 years too late or...right on time.
