Knee-jerk reactions and suggestions of communism is really dumb. It suggests that you cannot openly discuss issues without fearmongering.
Why would we want to alter our system of government for some failed system of tyranny like socialism, communism, or any other failed -ism?
What we must do is put government back under the authority of the US Consitution. We know that works beautifully. It has for over 200 years.
I'm quickly becoming an expert on this subject because I've had to help relatives keep their children or get them returned to them after YEARS in state custody though the parents were found innocent.
Tyranny is here - and it isn't just eh FedGov. Your state can swoop down at any time and steal your children. They do not follow due process, you don't get a jury, hearsay and other crap is admissable in juvenile/family court, etc. You are, without question, guilty until proven innocent and then you still might not get your children back.
Does this p*** you off like it does me? Go to The American Family Advocacy Center and find out more. I highly recommend you purchase the book called Profane Justice: A Comprehensive Guide to Asserting Your Parental Rights and read it now, before the jackals come for your kids. There are certain precautions you need to have in place ahead of time to hold off the agents of the state who want to adbuct your children under color of law.
Thats why God gave us eyes so we could read before making a fool of ourselves.
Yes, it makes me angry because we are the greatest country on earth, and this crap should not be happening here. Government corruption is something that goes on in other countries, not here.
But, that is changing, isnt it? As you can see, we are not allowed to question what our govenment is doing according to cultrual jihad.
But, Conservative leaders are saying the same things you and I are. They are becoming disgusted with our elected leaders . Did you happen to hear Rush Limbaugh cut GW a new one today? Well he sure did. Rush is very upset that GW will sign his name to the CFR bill that is clearly going to limit the free speech of Americans. But, principles don't mean much anymore. Hell, we should all just stop all of this questioning and give in. We might get some government cheese and butter if we do.
I read somewhere (unverified), that after 5 years post-release, without any additional offenses, New Zealand allows ex-cons to bear arms again. In the general case, at least for those for whom firearms weren't part of a previous offense (and maybe one has to look at some of those cases), this does not seem unreasonable. (I would prefer to see such a delay in order to get past the period of readjustment to being in society again, however long that is.) I don't know if they ratchet up the penalties for subsequent offenses with firearms, though.
The country is going socialist as fast as it can, and it is imposing powerful restrictions on the use of common items like fireplaces, wood burning stoves, etc. Soon, no home owner will be allowed to use any fuel in any stove, or fireplace other than methane, or natural gas as it is known here. Needless to say, Environmental Extremism is alive and well in the socialist government of New Zealand.
Heard the trend? The NZ government is inviting many foreigners into the country, and the citizens of that English culture are packing up and leaving the country.
Sounds familiar doen't it?
"Felons" and "criminally insane" people are in jail (if those words mean anything). No, of course they should not be allowed weapons; this would make it difficult to keep them in prison.
"Unskilled" people with weapons should take some classes or something. It's not clear what you want the government to do about them, or how the government would define "unskilled".
Thus, this discussion is about out of control Big Government.
But, sometimes, when you question things, there are those who can't handle it. And, there are those who are detractors who wait in the weeds ready to pounce on anyone who dares question the will of government.
That's a start.
Maybe then, EVERYONE will get out alive.
A life is a terrible thing to lose.
