Why are you more afraid of a few screwballs than the government?

Do you not comprehend that this country fought for independence because the people who immigrated here were fed up with a tyrannical government? You get y0ur panties in a wad because some nut bag shoots up a school and demand something be done. Your only ideas are easily proved to be nothing more than feel good but ineffective means to prevent anything.

People like this cruz asshat are walking the streets and posting their crap on the internet because they have rights. They have the right to say what they want to say and they have a right to appear odd. The only alternative is to throw the constitution away and give the government the almighty power to start arresting everyone who says something someone doesn't like or acts in a manner someone doesn't like. And who is this person who will get to decide what words or behaviours cross the line? Are you willing to let someone else decide what words you're not allowed to say or how you are allowed to act. Suppose you get someone in that position who has no sense of humour and you can't even act silly.

You should have learned by now that freedom comes with a price It isn't free, never has been, never will be. But the beauty of that freedom is that no one is holding you hostage here. You're free to go live somewhere else. somewhere where they don't have the right to own a gun. Somewhere where they don't have a right to speak their mind without fear of arrest because you offended someone with your big bad words. I won't bother moving out of the way because when the rubber meets the road I don't see any one of you leaving.

These moralists gun grabbers on the left are no different than the drug worrier moralists on the right. They both think prohibition works despite the evidence to the opposite. They both want the state to SWAT your home, confiscate (fill in the blank) put you in a cage and make you poor.

@Troy123when ownership of firearms, by private individuals, is forbidden, it is often the mark of a tyranny
katielass · F
@Dshhh No, individual gun ownership helps PREVENT a tyrannical government.
Troy123 · 22-25, M
@Dshhh So, if the state dictates that it and its forces are the only ones that can possess a firearm, that is liberty?
Dshhh · M
@katielass sorry it was a typo it was to be gun ownership is FORBIDDEN in such tyranny
Dshhh · M
@Troy123 please not my edit of the statement.
these keys are small, My finger are fat
katielass · F
@Dshhh Oh thank god it was a typo. These days you never know. (Btw, if you grow out your thumb nail it's a little easier to hit the right key. Even I had that problem with my phone and my fingers are skinny.) :)

@Dshhh OOPS!
katielass · F
@Dshhh I don't trust the government either. Look what they're doing to the duly elected president. I mean, even if you didn't like him you'd have to be very worried unless you were brain dead.

@katielass oh come on! this guy is a 5 time bankrupt! working on # 6.
a draft dodger, self proclaimed "king of bankruptcies"
I sure HATED clinton,
but this guy doesn't even understand his duties,
why believe him? he repeatedly has lied, ignores the expertese of the entirety of the professional military, and has blown the deficit off the charts,
maybe you can guess why I cant trust a man with BANNON in his camp.
dont believe Faux News either.
he is no less corrupt than the clintons,
and since '87 has been known to the old guard in Russia as "a useful idiot".
Just another privieleged rich boy

@Dshhh I'm not going to argue with you about the false claims you just typed. I stand by my statement that if you cant see what the deep state has tried to do to trump you must be brain dead. Keep your illusions, you'll need them when things get really bad.
Dshhh · M
Now your calling me a liar,
very mature
I do real research, not just popular pundits,
there are MANY career bureaucrats, but this deep state crap, is the creation of Right controlled media.

and for some of us? it has been really bad a long time.

calling me brain dead, is just rude.

I'll stop participating in this convo
thanks for you time
