Portions of HR 1885 improves border security. I'd like to see the military used more often to assist border control agencies. But its impossible to deport all illegal aliens. AG Ashcroft and the DoJ are profiling middle eastern men. They may boit call it profiling, but thats what it is. I believe in many local communities, law enforcement officials are encouraging Americans to protect themselves. All local civil defense entities are on alert. In the last general election, exit polls showed that about half of all American's admitted to owning a firearm. I'm sure that figure is much higher in reality.
I agree. Politics is certainly strange, but I think them 'not condeming' self protection is their way of advocating it. Imagine the uproar if they said "arm yourselves." Instead, they send out warnings, you figure it out yourselves.
We were major ready for Y2K not knowing what would happen ( and read a lot about the great depression). It taught us to always be prepared. We are.
