Yes. I disagree with you about the greatest threat to the United States. It's terrorism, not some phony "threat to the Bill of Rights" that libertarians and fringe party candidates are always screaming about.

So to you it's OK to shred the Constitution as long as it's for a good cause, like fighting terrorists?
How long could a terrorist last in the face of a totally armed citizenry? Five minutes? Ten? Or less than one? How many terrorists would even try if they knew they'd face at least a 95% LIKELIHOOD of failure? Remember, it's one thing to give your life to a successful mission; it's quite another to die for an abject failure and become, not a martyr, but a laughingstock.
Yet an attitude like yours only fuels the movement to COMPLETELY eradicate the Constitution in the name of a threat to the Republic. It does NOTHING to actually safeguard the country... nothing whatsoever! And bear in mind that the best chance of your personal safety and survival lies with YOU, not with an all-powerful FedGov. But if you want to enslave yourself for the sake of some fleeting sense of safety, go right ahead on. Just leave the rest of us OUT of your delusions. And DON'T look to anyone else to rescue your sorry a$$ when you find out just how big a mistake you made, giving up your liberties to FedGov in return for their chains.
