Report Copyright Violation | Time to Choose Sides; It's not about Guns This is a pretty good read if you have a few minutes.
I must confess I’ve never been much of a ‘joiner’. Most of my life I’ve been an independent thinker, some might say a loner. I rarely feel compelled to join a group or organization, even if I agree with their stance. Whatever descriptor you like, I’ve never been one of the “insiders” regardless of my endeavors. My lovely spouse might credit this situation to my inability to keep my thoughts and opinions to myself.
Not that I have never declared allegiance, I did so twice with the United States Marine Corps when I took the oath of enlistment and then re-enlisted. I took various oaths of allegiance when I was sworn in as a State Certified Peace Officer. If you want to take a trip back in time with me, I swore an allegiance to God when I was confirmed into the Lutheran Church at age fourteen. These oaths and promises of allegiance were not made to objects, but to principles and ideals.
It is no secret that the hottest topic on the minds of ‘gun owners’ across the United States is “2nd Amendment Rights”. When the topic of the 2nd Amendment comes up, I’m want to reply that I am fond of that entire Bill of Rights and by extension the United States Constitution and the principles upon which this nation was founded.
Make no mistake; this nation was founded upon a deliberate set of principles. Whether or not your public school education glossed over that information or you were asleep during that part of American History class, that fact still remains. Today there are factions that would attempt to convince you that the United States of America was a happy accident or a fate accompli that was going to happen regardless of the individual men at the helm in 1776. Even a freshman student of history can tell you that nothing could be farther from the truth.- See more at: [ link to www.studentofthegun.com] If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.

It is not people with guns against people without guns. There are guns on both sides and conservatives who think otherwise will be surprised for a few seconds. The enemies of republicans/NRA are not unarmed. Dream it, but don't act on it. |

Report Copyright Violation | Re: Time to Choose Sides; It's not about Guns Fantastic article. I've said it time and time again on this website: I don't care if the founders were freemasons and the Constitution was supposedly written only for the elites (nor do I believe it - particularly the latter portion). This nation has known freedom and prosperity like no other, and that freedom was foremost in the hearts and minds of the people. The author is right. Make a choice. Freedom or Serfdom. Make up your mind and be willing to die for it.

Quoting: Frayed Knot And during those times of freedom we as a nation flourished. Look at it now. The more freedoms that have been stripped away, the further into slavery by indebtedness we've slipped. Nick@  Pure Life; Get it on... |
