"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams
Look at all the pro-gun movement over the past 30 years, in particular recall the state by state conceal carry law changes over the years, open carry now being passed, and even constitutional carry, and states passing laws that federal gun laws don't apply to guns built and sold in the state. While the feds have been trying to chip away at gun rights for many years, several states have been making major changes to restore our gun rights. Gun ownership is at an all time high despite the feds! Obama is the gun salesman of the century!
Contrast this with the downward spiral into socialism/facism, government spending that is going to break our economy, this administrations open lawlessness, and the fecklessness of the opposition party to do anything about all this. I don't believe our standard of living can be maintained with where our federal government is headed. Americans eventually won't be able to afford to sit on the couch watching tv.
These two trends are in complete opposition with one another. A government run by socialism and corruption cannot maintain itself with such an armed citizenry. It also can't disarm such citizenry without major bloodshed.
How do you reconcile this? How will this will all end?
I understand a huge portion of these couch potatoes, are not going to get up, get their gun, and go do anything. They will probably turn in their guns for food and tv.
But I am convinced there is a small patriot population, that will eventually take action. And history has shown it doesn't take but just a few true warriors.
