Admiral Yamoto reportedly told his government, “I would never invade the United States. There would be a rifle behind every blade of grass.”

In regards to freedom and the second amendment, unfortunately the enemy is no longer Yamoto or some other foreign power, but those that control the reins of power within our own government.

True and those are the people that will quite likely win this battle because of our natural hesitation to declare armed war against fellow countrymen. We are hesitant to declare the elected leaders as traitors.

Very few Americans have seriously thought about this statement by Mark Twain, “Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.”

We want to see country and government as being the same when in fact they are not. We refuse to form a battle plan against our own government even though we know it is corrupted from top to bottom. The recent SCOTUS decision should be proof enough to show that 4 out of 9 have a different vision for our future than we do.
