I have a better idea: Let's legalize dope, tax it, and put dope dealers out of business. That's one.
Let's allow The People to carry like they've never 'carried' before. That's two. The guns are there. The people are there. What's the hold-up? THE STATE- "Hands up, this here is a Bill of Rights robbery."
So, thugs sell drugs, cops get shot, and life goes on.
Liberty is the anti-biotic that can heal the body if taken according to directions. And, it won't come with the many ugly side-effects that many pharmacueticals induce.
The families of these officers shouldn't be going through what they currently are. Somebody's daddy or mommy is in the hospital hanging onto life. And, they needn't be. They need to be in our prayers.
The Clash between the STATE and the INDIVIDUAL can be kept to a minimum. It was the work of some pretty smart dudes. Every deviation from the path they blazed will come back to harm us. And we witness that harm every day. Becoming de-sensitized to it is no excuse for laxity.
An engine needs it's oil changed about every 3000 mi. to get the most out of it. A country elects a new president every four years (eight, if they're synthetic) to get the most out of it. What this means is: we have a chance to 'correct' course quickly if'n the country is about to 'hit the ditch'.
We've had a couple of wheels in the ditch since Reagan. The front-end has been in the ditch since LBJ. These clowns do gun control- this car will flip end-over-end.
Thks for the chance to rant, Normy. ;^)
