Thank you. I know I was on a bit of vitriolic rant with those posts. I get a little passionate when this is the topic - especially with Europeans. I also have an inherent distrust of "Government". I think we're both Libertarian, at heart - at opposite sides of the spectrum, Nurb - but ultimately - we want personal agency with reasonable limits to be the rule.

I know i'm veering closely into political territory so ill make it brief and step back.  I believe all sides are at fault.  Neither side has a monopoly on wanting to suppress the 'unwashed masses'.    I trust no government, of any kind.

 

Yes. This.

Our nation was born out of this.  When the oppressors finally went too far, we killed them.

May it be so with all modern oppressors, both foreign and domestic.  

How odd. even local gun stores are not wanting to buy...    something is coming.. just dont know what.
