Just because we have guns now, does not mean that they cannot 0r will not attempt to take them.
When the populace is disarmed, (and don’t think it cannot happen) there will be no one to stand in their way.
As retired military, and I actually hate to admit this...
I saw three Apache attack helicopters fly over my house last week, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know whether to cheer, or to pray.
I do not like the way I felt, and still feel.
I don’t like what is happening to the Country that every generation of my family has fought to protect.
We have served proudly in Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines...
No, I don’t like what is happening in our Country.
Friend, to believe that our government can disarm 90 million citizens, you have to believe that nearly all of them will willingly, and docilely give up their guns.
Not.
If this were Great Britain, you'd be right about that. Those people did that very thing when their government banned all personal firearms.
But, this isn't Great Britain. Those people never had an absolute right to keep and bear arms encoded into their nation's fundamental charter. Our right to keep and bear arms is written into our Founding Document, the Constitution. Americans are not going to simply allow our government to abolish the 2nd Amendment without a fight.
If our government were capable of taking our guns, it would have already happened a long, long time ago. The Marxists have been angling to take over this country for at least a century, and would have done so, if the 2nd Amendment weren't standing in the way.
Read some of the recent news about 2nd Amendment issues. Gains to better secure our gun rights have been steady and ongoing for a good while now, and the trend shows no sign of slowing down.
By the way, thank you for service, and for that of your family.
