"A free government trusts its people to be armed...tyranny fears armed citizens and does all in its power to disarm them. That's an effective barometer to measure any government by IMHO, among other things."

Never thought of it that way, but it is true. There isn't too many free nations left. Just a handful that I can think of.

Sad!

Thankfully...we still have ours, despite the best efforts of leftists/marxists and tyrant wanna-be's and abettors even within the GOP.

As long as we do, and as long as there are tens of milions of people who continue to hold fast the foundational heritage and principles upon which this nation was founded (and there are tens of millions who do), then I am convinced we shall retain our freedom...albeit not without great sacrifice.
