It more efficient to reach out there and touch evil, than to have to confront it face to face..... The rifle was invented by a man, so evil can be kept far away.

Or do you think the above are outside the intent of the constitution?
If it is within the constitution, why do you think my next door neighbor doesn't have any of the above? Maybe he does? If so, do you think they should be licensed?

Well, if we had a few of those I think the neighbors would turn their stereo down when asked.

The fact that some wish to give up their liberty, demand others do the same, thinking freedom and liberty are the same thing, that happens without violence, is very disturbing to me.
Basing things on emotions and not natural human nature, with history backing the facts, does no one any good. When individual liberty for all, is the ultimate goal. The collective can suck on the end of my loaded gun.


If this nation was founded upon the demands of the collective against the individual, there would not have been a Bill of Rights.

They don't need to. A person would be stupid to confront them.

Let me put it this way, you have 100 billion dollars to do something bad. Do you use all that money to build 1 nuclear bomb, or enough drug resistant bugs in quantities that could infect most of the continental US?

When wearing their colors.... Their colors have a conceal carry pocket. I know the Banditos do.

It isn't the cowards, or the mentally ill that we have to worry about. It is those Individuals, with nothing left to lose.
