Agreed. Not only that, but I honestly feel that the reason we have no WTC today is precisely because too many of our freedoms have been compromised and cancelled because the folks we trusted to honor their oaths violated those oaths. How far would those murdering terrorists gotten with their little knives if couple of Americans had their personal weapons with them on the flight? How far would Colin Furguson gotten on the Long Island Railroad massacre? How many kids would have died at Colombine? We've lost too much freedom now.
Benjamin Franklin said:
"Those who would give up
essential liberty to purchase a
little temporary safety deserve
neither liberty nor safety."
"But what use could little old civilian handguns possibly be in a modern war..."
Yes, the rules just changed.
War has come home, and domestic law is interfering with defense.
Heres a couple.
Allow CCW carry by peace officers or citizens that pass peace officer training. Training to be provided by municipalities.
Allow open carry by citizens unless prohibited by private individuals in their own property.
Allow lawsuits against legislators when they pass laws that hamper citizens from protecting themselves against criminal attacks.
Eliminate foreign aid, loans to foreign countries secured with real assets only.
Mandatory service in the armed forces for every able-bodied citizen performed in the community they live in, for a few weeks out of the year.
How far would those murdering terrorists gotten with their little knives if couple of Americans had their personal weapons with them on the flight?Probably just as far as they got without armed Americans.
The problem isn't just that we are disarmed. The problem is that we have been conditioned to depend on others for our protection. We no longer have the culture of freedom.
I'm bumping another thread to you where I cover that in more detail.
