The world watched as America shut down and locked its citizens in their homes because of a virus we have since learned wasn't as bad as we thought. Certainly, not life or death survival for a country but our reaction proved that we are vulnerable. AND people like the CDC/Fauci like power and are above the rule of law and will use it to control the population.
Agreed.
We mega-over-reacted in both instances and gave our freedom, liberty and power away to the corrupt FedGov, and getting it back will take almost forever, if we can even do it.
Most likely, not.
Once we give something to FedGov, they will *keep it* and the US Constitution becomes more and more just paper, and not a way of life.
Do you remember the Boston Marathon Bombers — 2 muzzie(SPIT!) punks with pressure cookers — and how the local/state/fed gov’s treated the citizens and locked-down the city, and did door-to-door searches, jailing many people? I’m sure you do. If those freedom-loving people were armed, the murderous scum would have been killed quickly.
“There will be small scale attacks and large scale attacks. “
I forgot large sporting events, as one of the prime “soft targets”.
I’m always CCW-ing here in PA, and carry both a Class III AR-15 and an AR-10 in my Jeep, plus extra loaded mags. I don’t go to large sporting events, anymore, since just before 9-11. Best seat is on the TV, for a number of reasons.
