Will we be hearing this same phrase once someone decides to outlaw our firearms or, when someone decides that all of our guns must be registered? Surprisingly, no one raised a peep when the gov. decided to "register" our children (reportedly to stop "welfare" and income tax fraud) so the old thinking that people won't register their guns, no matter what, is pretty idiotic when one stops to think about it. I suppose, when that time comes, that people will still be saying "but if you've registered your guns, you don't have anything to worry about" - right up until the point that the BATF knocks on the door demanding that we hand them over.
Honestly, I don't want to be confrontational about this. I just want everyone to REALLY stop and think about the POTENTIAL for abuse of all these "powers".
Well it didn't take long for someone to find an objection to this phrase. You win the prize. Whatever that may be.
It is important for all American's to remain vigilant during these uncertain days in the war against terrorism. It is also important for American's to remain vigilant when it comes to the abuse of power by the federal government.
President Bush supports the right of American's to purchase and own firearms. I'm living proof of that. As I said, this is no time to over react, but your points are well taken.
Unfortunately, you are correct. Sad, isn't it?
