we are not the same country we were 50 years ago. back then if someone screamed gun control, no one would have thought twice about it. or if they did it would have been to merely dismiss them as a fool.
think about all the things that have changed in just the last 20 years.
1. america has embraced a muslim president to appease the guilt they felt for offending the enemy.. and only seven years after 911,no less.
2.you cannot speak a critical word ,even when true, about muslims or frankly any minority.
3.homosexuallity and trans is no longer abhored but actually embraced as being wonderfull.
4.this nation , even those not religious , once strived to do good but now embrace every vile thing.
5. heck our government doesn't even have the will to prosecute an illegal who commits a crime but will instead let em go with a slap to the butt and a go get another one champ.
I say all that , not because I PARTICULARLY CARE ABOUT THOSE THINGS BUT MERELY TO POINT OUT THAT PUBLIC PERCEPTION CHANGES in the blink of an eye.
we have historically been a pro gun culture, but that is quickly changing. think it can't happen here ? why can't it? it's happening everywhere else.
everyone says they will not comply, it helps em sleep at night . they complied in , soviet union , georgia, england ,australia. just to name a few. and I know , you will now probably point to the american revolution as proof it can't happen here.
well, folks are no longer self sufficient as they were back then. our nation is made up mostly of whining , snivilling , youngsters
(18-30 or so) who are coddled , lazy, drug and alchohol addled weaklings, who would gladly trade their guns for a free obama phone. the children are the future and the future has never in the history of the world, been more bleak.
mman ,I am not putting you in that catagory as I know nothing about you. I thank you for your service but suspect that even you would not put himself in the same catagory as , a george washington or thomas jefferson. I doubt folks of that caliber still exist.
