Dear sir,
I agree with you 100%. Principle alone is ultimately what matters the most which equates to truer liberty and freedom.
I am in my forties, and you at 26 in your twenties, represent the correct attitudes and apparently the work ethic and values that made the USA Great in the first place.
No disrespect meant towards you, I just seriously ask, how many people regardless of age or life situation, will actually stand with someone like you and me? Yes, right is right no matter what to me. I only ask because it just seems to me that the numbers just are not there.
Everything aside, it is hard to argue that people were more self reliant not to many years ago. Every tool and process and technology can be used for good or evil. Ultimately the individual has to make decisions.
In general as cities become mega cities and things are more provided and supplied then acquired and worked for, the greater the percentage of the population becomes complacent and dependent. Also people value things less the less they work for them. It is just human nature and psychology.
In the long and short of it, everyone is free to do what they wish in the bounds of the laws. IE. The quote “your freedom ends where someone else’s nose begins.” At the same time though, 100% of people break down into some basic types. 1-2% are lunatics, about 10% type A personalities (ie. seals, leaders, extroverts), 30% hardcore liberal as you can be, 30% hardcore conservative as you can be, and about 28% are those central type people that just fill in the times.
In all this mix again, can you really run a campaign of let’s make open 2A Rights included common use military weapons as the constitution supports? All able body males who apply at say 17 / 18, have a government safe / strongbox on their house. In it you will have an auto rifle and handgun for for training and reservist service like in Switzerland?
The tide is flowing back to a common sense law and order. Yet there are just to many liberals and extreme view socialists in places to make allot of noises in the media. It is just hard to get the votes you need to support these bills and repeal the NFA for example.
Yet the Path of Rome seems to be ours….
