I only have one thing to say about this. Try to take my freedom to keep my own firearms/weapons. I'll kill you.
Depending on what you'd do to defend that freedom, that just might be the case.
... a simple reality of life.
Interestingly, such a mentality had existed in this land for over a thousand (guessing, since the history has been partially destroyed) years before the Europeans ever came to these shores. Colonists who came here first in ancient times take the credit for establishing "something new" which was already here, in reality. I'll go farther! Government "of the people, by the people, for the people" also existed here before the Euro-trash tried to totally destroy the good honest, not-tainted-by-Christian-ideals-yet-following-the-Golden-Rules "primitive Stone-Age native" people and failed. The Euros (my own ancestry has a few who were also somewhat criminal as well - I have blood on my hands.) took the ways of the natives to heart, but brought paper and quill to make themselves look stupid in the eyes of those they emulated, then created laws written down on paper (instead of kept in the hearts) which contradict themselves.
I have never in all my study found an Indian Chief, who was in a position of power because of taking goods, riches or livelihood away from his people in the form of taxes or ravaging as the many kings in history have done - quite the opposite, actually. Those Chiefs were OF their own people, lived their lives FOR their own people and defended their own people and were put into positions of decision making BY their own people.
Sound familiar? I hope that some day, the history writers of this country will admit to the truth.
