It's one of the few things left they have to scare us with - - taking away our ability to defend ourselves.That's the Supreme Court fear card.
Do you know how many people were murdered by NRA members in Chicago in the last six months? ZERO. This isn't a question of safety it's a question of political control. For both sides...
Elites can use fear or love - and fear is faster. It's the totalitarian way...
I can assure you that in any country NOT based on citizen rule that laws are meaningless constructs used by elites to 'manage and manipulate' the people. That's what we're dealing with now in DC. These are not public servants - they're self-appointed delusional 'rulers'...
If corrupt elites 'rule' to take away our guns we must become outlaws. Resist them. Without the consent of the governed our elites are no different than the thugs that run any of the other world's hellholes - run for their own benefit and the benefit of their friends..
When 'the people' make laws it's important to respect those laws because they're ours. When elites impose 'rule's on the non-elites it's NOT important to respect laws. Iraq citizens acted like they respected Saddam because they were afraid of him. They 'voted' for him in the high ninety percent range. It was all a lie. We have to be the same way... Our country has devolved into hellhole status. We've become what our founders fought against.
“The Supreme Court Card is the way GOP Establishment Elites play us for fools...”
NO!
There is an ENORMOUS difference between a Scalia or Thomas, and a Ginsberg/Kagen!
If you want to see the Second Amendment disappear, and the First - if you want religious liberty to cease in America - allow Hillary to appoint 2-3 Kagens on to the court.
I am so sick of people on FreeRepublic being defeatists who are willing to give up on America!
“If we don’t get Trump, life is over! We either get HIM, or we’ll stand by and watch America be destroyed by Hillary!”
Well, my daddy didn’t raise a quitter, and I didn’t learn giving up in my 25 years in the military! I’ve already voted in the primary, and my guy - Cruz - lost in Arizona. Oh well! That doesn’t mean I’m going to pack up my marbles and give up on America!
Trump isn’t my guy. But I have no intention of standing by and watching Hillary destroy America! For all of Trump’s faults - and I think they are many - he cares about America. So does Cruz. So did ALL the folks who ran for the GOP nod - even ones I really dislike, such as Jeb! or the Huckster.
But my vote in the primary is over. Going into the general election, I plan on getting behind ANYONE who will stop Hillary. The “I’ll quit and piss on America” attitude I”m seeing nauseates me. If that means I’m out of step with FR, so be it. But in November - regardless of who the GOP nominee is - Trump, Cruz, or someone else - I’m voting to stop Hillary.
