Just for clarity, I'm not a hardcore guns nut. I own very few guns and rarely shoot them because I find it boring - like golf. I have become hardcore re: gov't intrusions of the BoR and "nut" could be reasonably applied to me by those who don't share my new found (2011) passion/obsession.Terry B. wrote:As much as I disagree with the hardcore guns nut on most everything, mostly because it's so damn fun, I am in agreement with the basic point that civil liberties are being infringed upon across the board. GWB pushed a lot of bad ideas though at least he, or the people who whispered in his ears, were wolves in wolves clothing. BHO, the civil liberties guy is pushing things even farther setting Hillary Clinton up as being the most powerful POTUS in the history of the republic in another four years.DrDonkeyLove wrote:The NDAA is what put me on my freedom rant. The new and unimproved FISA cemented it. Neither party really cares. Repugs are on board for the 2nd because they need/fear the NRA. I wish there was a way to monetize Congress' relationship to the other amendments towards the direction of freedom.Terry B. wrote:When people are screaming about their guns, attacks on the rest of the BOR are far more effective and easier to carry out. The 5th and 6th Amendments were taken apart by NDAA and it's becoming increasingly clear that the 1st Amendment doesn't necessarily apply if you criticize the administration.nafod wrote:Most people couldn't come within a country of naming all of the BOR amendments and what they mean, most of which actually have a much greater impact on your freedoms.
Thankfully, Anheuser-Busch, Miller-Coors, the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, and myriad college sports will keep the 21st amendment sacred and unmolested......for the collective good of the American people of coarse.
I'm a Rand Paul
ing, OWS & Tea party supporting, NRA & ACLU appreciating, Republicrat hating, bourbon and dog loving kind of nut....but not a gun nut.
