Here's the situation as i SEE IT:
1. The government schools have replaced "Civics" with Diversity Training. This means that children get only a cursory lesson in how our government works and what their rights mean.
2. The popular culture has put forth the propaganda that the only people "Professional enough to handle" a firearm is police and military. What was the last movie you saw where someone who was not a SEAL, SF, Ranger, Marine Recon, cop, etc, knew how to handle a firearm?
3. The courts and the alphabet agenciues have been on a long campiagn to eliminate private property rights in this country, with Kelo being only the latest. The video that Blackwater posted shows how far down the road we've been taken; people's private property wasforcibly confiscateer without any due process, and the majority of this country yawned and changed the channel.
4. Gun owners have been successfully marginalized in society. It is now more acceptable to be an adulterer than it is to own a gun.
5. Elected officials have overtly stated that they believe gun owners are a threat to them, thus they work to regulate and control us. Combine this with the fact that the Washington DC/Hollywood elites think that only THEY should have guns while the unwashed masses should be restricted to pointy sticks, and youbegin to see the problem; A huge section of our government believes that they are above the law, so they have no problem seizing our property, guns, children, and oversize toilet tanks because none of it will effect them.
Bottom line: we either start looking for alternatives to the present crop of politicians, or we get ready to fight. Personally, I am too old and out of shape to go hand-to-hand with some armored crewcut that's possibly operating under the effects of fear, stress, adrenaline, caffeine, steroids, or whatever. That's why I write letters, testify before the state legislature, teach others to shoot, and scrutinize my children's education.
