Is talking about our guns a good idea with big surveillance govt?
Soooo...what's the alternative? Stop talking about guns, period?
If we stop talking about guns, then we lose our voice. If we lose our voice, then nobody hears us. If nobody hears us, we lose our political clout. If we lose our political clout, then we lose out to those who would take away our rights. And then we lose our right to keep and bear arms.
"
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in our bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed down for them to do the same. Ronald Reagan."
Freedoms are a lot like muscles...we need to exercise them if we wish them to be strong and healthy. If we languish about and hide them, or otherwise keep them from the light of day, then they grow weak from disuse and will fail when we need them or when they are attacked.
It's NOT illegal, in any way, to own any of the firearms we so lovingly post here. And not to post them simply out of fear that the goverment may be monitoring and making lists of all these weapons for later action isn't just an act of paranoia...it's giving into fear and allowing factions within the government to manipulate your actions.
A lot like terrorism, as a matter of fact.
Another way of looking at it is this: if your guns are perfectly legal and the government does take some kind of action, don't you think that having this take place in the full light of day will actually work
against the government?
You and I aren't alone. We're part of a group of aproximately 100,000,000 citizens in the United States, about 1/3 of the population, who are legal gun owners with a cummulative 300,000,000 firearms owned between all of us. We're PART of that very same government.
That makes it extremely difficult for "the government" to take unilateral action to take away our firerms...
which we are legally entitled to.
