So you’ve willingly surrendered your rights. And we wonder why people like Bloomberg keep getting elected.
New Yorkers are certainly NOT raising a ruckus about the gun laws there. Not the city dwellers anyway, the upstate area where actual conservatives live have tried but are simply outnumbered.
Not willingly, but the reality is conservatives are outnumbered and your friends, family and job are where they are. It is therefore necessary to make the necessary compromises required to secure life and property against those who conspire against them. And it's not that big a compromise. The rest of the constitution's freedoms are not yet in peril. Note that NYC's gun laws have been around 100 years, and the city is still free.
One of the unbelievable things in my life, is that I come to this site almost everyday. Supposedly “Conservative”. Bound by the Constitution. And yet day after day there are those here who will support, hell cheer, the erosion of our rights. It makes me sick. If there is this much opposition here on Free Republic, then how can I believe that someday the Sheeple will wake up and take back this country.
So, you are barking up the wrong tree. Here’s an idea. Next time you see a thread on DUI roadblocks just chime in with some 4th amendment claims. You’ll be called a drunk. A murderer. A child killer. And if you are lucky you’ll get a mailbox full calling you things that can’t be read in public.
So, lot’s of luck.
