I think once we get all the states with a CCW law and the streets remain bloodfree, we can start working on loosening up the requirments. Hopefully, all the states may get their laws in onother couple of years unless we have to have a couple of bad examples like California, Illinois and Massachusetts.

We've come a long way since the Morton Grove, Illinois type gun bans that were threatening all over the country.

True enough. Good progress is being made. But what really bothers me is that our own government has worked diligently through the years to restrict the FReedom and Liberty bequeathed to all Americans by our Founders.

Gordon Liddy got it right with "When I was a boy, this was a FRee Country."

I am 62 years old, and in my lifetime, the LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist Bastards have heaped insult upon FRightening insult on the ability of a FRee people to go about their peacable business or enjoy their leisure time pleasures without the heavy hand of government slapping them around for this or that violation of some goofy law or another.

The loss of our Second Amendment right is only one manifestation of that phenomenon.

It took 50 odd years to get to where we are, and I am not confident that Real Conservatives can get to or stay at the levers of power in the 50 state capitals or Washington DC long enough to reverse the trend.

The most important question we should be asking is, "What sort of future are we preparing for our children and grandchildren?" in respect of FReedom and Liberty.
