There's a lot of ominous activities happening in our country as we know. During my lifetime I've never seen our country as divided as it is now, and this schism is widening daily. As bad as some of our former presidents were, Jimmy Carter comes to mind, I didn't feel he was anti American, nor did I feel Bill Clinton was anti American. I can handle opposing political viewpoints and I understand that politicians in the past were able to compromise in order to pass legislation.
Just a few things to consider, a citizen(s) deemed to be terrorist threats can be held (imprisoned) without habeas corpus, a fundamental right granted by the Constitution. A statement by the POTUS early after his election that he would like to see a civilian army as large as our military army. Executive orders number in the thousands and dozens of departmental czars operate without accountability or oversight.
Make no doubt about it, this disgraced general knows exactly what he's doing and as long as he's in the spotlight, he'll sway a significant number of citizens to support not only disarming other citizens, but to also denigrate us as being gun fanatics.
A historical note, not only was the American Revolution a fight for independence from Great Britain, it was also a civil war that split families between patriots and loyalists (Tories) who supported the king. Two of my g.......grandfathers were lieutenants under Washington and were KIA, not by redcoats, they and hundreds of others were killed by Tories in the community they lived.
While gun control is capturing the headlines these days, I'm also seeing a geographic schism in our country as well as families having passionate discussions regarding both sides of the issue. With all that has transpired in our country during the past few years and without any regards for opposing viewpoints, I don't expect this administration to heal any wounds suffered thus far, quite the contrary, and this general is part of the problem IMO.
