The original post had nothing to do with guns either.Are these comments truly relevent to gun-related general discussion? Certain members seem to really enjoy posting comments pertaining to LEO misconduct in almost every type of thread. Does this really further the purpose of RKBA discussion?
I find the back and forth informative. Very few people realize how very limited their rights are.
Whether it furthers the purpose of the RTKBA depends on your POV. Until you understand just how far your other rights have been suppressed you may not be in a position to see how far your RTKBA has been suppressed.
I am a skeptic of government, as most of us are, or should be at least. LE is the enforcement arm of government. That means you have to be skeptical of LE in general. They are there to further the aims of government, not individuals.
It does always seem to boil down to an us versus them thing though. Thats unfortunate, and maybe it should not be that way, but long history has shown that government unchecked will violate your rights. At some point you have to stand up against it, or the situation will not improve.
