A number of years ago I attended a speech by Jack Kemp. One of the things he spoke about was the American propensity to just ignore onorous laws.

He used the speed limit as an example. Said if there were such limits placed on the Autobahn Germans would obey it and then vote every politician who voted for it out of office st the next election.

Americans otoh will do everything possible to skirt, avoid and ignore the law. Except taking it out on the politicians who put it in place.

CT and NY are really playing with fire on this tho. This isn’t like getting a speeding ticket: if you get caught on this your life is going to be seriously f*cked. I expect that the dipsh*t Governor’s next move will be to make some examples, then offer an amnest. But there’s an excellent chance that some of those “examples” aren’t going to go quietly ... And even a few examples of armed resistance will cause a heck of a mess.

Armed resistance lies at the end of this road. I'd prefer not to go down this road, but I'd prefer even less to go down the other road to loss of freedom.

That’s because most Americans actually prefer to be told what to do. Why this is, I have no idea.

It only takes one juror to hang a jury.

Where is the line between preemptive self-defense and murder? Do we have to let them shoot first?
