Hi-ya, Green Eyes - long time ...
I agree with you completely, Gwen, with emphasis on the 'WE' part. I also agree that all the laws on the books now are more than ample to solve our 'criminal' problems if they were enforced. And yes - our 'Justice' system IS 'all-of-the-above' broken.
Which leaves the vast majority of law-abiding Americans in jeopardy. We have to live within the 'system', and work to make it better with our votes, because votes are the preferred way to replace defective representation and effect change for our betterment.
It's the 'meantime' that we live in while we work to make the system better, where we all should be awake and aware of our situation. I encourage self-reliance as much as possible for all Americans, not unlike the Boy Scout Motto - 'Be Prepared'!
'Going-gonzo' sounds like 'going-postal', and that's not what I mean. I do not advocate going on 'muzzie hunts' or 'illegal-alien' hunts. Being 'gonzo' just means that you're ready to defend yourself if you find that you're considered to be a 'dhimmi' or a 'gringo' by someone else who's attacking you.
Personally, I'm prepared to respond with Furious Anger and Terrible Vengeance, but that's just me. Stay well, sweetie .................... FRegards

Oh sorry, didn't mean to imply you were ready to Rambo!
