Um...it IS a freedom thing. Freedom to not risk death at some socialist's whim. Freedom to defend one's country when a threat is perceived...and freedom to care for one's own when a threat is not perceived. Would you REALLY blindly trust your life to those in Congress?
Interesting they seek to eliminate the 2nd Amendment, and replace the void with conscription.
And the freedom to take all you can grab, while picking and choosing how to help keep our freedom and liberty. Interesting concept.
