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.

Thank God for the internet. Before that, we only had liberal newspapers, TV and public school.
And things do change when the employee looks at all those taxes they have to pay. The only problem was the amount of people on the dole started to exceed the taxpayers. I think even that's changing with Workfare.

The loss of our Second Amendment right is only one manifestation of that phenomenon. I must be missing something.
I live in Texas, and I've bought six guns in three years. Any gun I wanted to buy, I bought and, because I have a CCW, I took the gun home with me right away.
For all the frenetics here, Tom DeLay and John Dingell will never allow a AWB to get out of the House.
