Maybe you can grasp the response to overbearing tyrannical government taking our rights and civil liberties without representation? Americans used to have a problem with that

What you say was true. But now the masters have found the secret. They make their sheep feel secure. Wearing masks serve the same purpose as giving a pacifier to a baby. And are just as useful. But they make the baby feel satisfied, safe, secure, happy, and occupied.

The post this topic is discussing wasn’t about governments doing anything. It was about a guy angry that certain private businesses had specific requirements for customers wishing to enter their private property. His response was to start ranting about guns and shooting, with vague threats tossed in just for good measure.

I totally get it if someone wants to boycott a business for having policies they don’t like. There’s plenty of businesses I won’t interact with at all (e.g. Dicks) for having policies I don’t like (e.g. virtue signaling by making a big public deal about not selling “assault weapons”). But those businesses have every right to control what happens on their own private property right down to mandating the attire one must wear in order to enter. And nobody - this lunatic included - should be threatening to bring guns into the situation as a result of private business policy. All that does is make it easier for the left to paint us all as insane and untrustworthy to exercise our Second Amendment rights peacefully.

Yeah, why would we want to have zero new Covid cases in the past month, like Taiwan?

For Americans, true freedom means the freedom for asymptomatic carriers to spread Covid anywhere they want, right? That's what you're saying?

See text of story above.

"Zero local COVID-19 cases for 28th day"

IMHO, we need to be able to distinguish between stupid, meaningless power grabs (eg, closing beaches of all things), and sensible things like wearing a mask indoors in public.

The posturing around this topic has gone beyond the absurd and is simply embarrassing at this point.
