The Statue of Liberty is kaput

[Deer_Freak]

I am seeing our rights eroding every day. When I was a kid we could ride our bicycles all day long, end up 10 miles away from home and had nothing to fear. We rode horses all through the woods without running into people who take defense of their property way to seriously. We said the pledge of allegiance every morning and the flag really means something to me. We said the lords prayer before any sporting event we participated in. Young men need the lords guidance to play in a sporting manner and in the event the unthinkable should happen to one of us we were at peace with the lord.

I hope each and every one of us take lykoris' words to heart, he is speaking the truth. I pray that we realize that when anyone's rights are violated the same thing can happen to us. The second amendment is what binds us together but when other amendments are violated we need to be just as defensive.

The repeal of the Clinton AWB was an anomaly.

The AWB was not repealed. It had a sunset clause, and it expired. There is a big difference.

A nice write-up Lykoris.
It's always good to hear other peoples perspectives, especially those who either never had or have already lost a basic human right - the right to preserve your own life.

Yeah, EU is pushing for new legislation. Guns will be newly devided into 2 groups - forbidden and for permission. :-/

ONLY gun owners have the POWER to PROTECT and PRESERVE our FREEDOM.

Thank you Lykoris.

I to adore my country.
In a lot of ways we are saner, calmer and have a better economy than the rest of the world.
On the surface we look like happy, wholesome "hale and well met" mates.
A hard working and hard playing culture based on "mateship" and the fair go.
That would belie the ugly underbelly that our culture has taken on since gun control was implemented.

I feel myself drawn to the States but her problems seem to outstrip our own and seem to be getting worse by the day.

Perhaps I would be best off moving to New Zealand.
They allow semi-automatic weapons and have a reassuring "at arms distance" approach to the States and their Asia-Pacific machinations.

Maybe New Zealand offers a safe haven and a buffer for the madness that is about to crash down upon the western world?

We don't bow to monarchs or our government. We grant our government limited powers. In Europe the government "allows" the people some limited "privileges".

Maybe the Europeans need to take back their countries and stop accepting crumbs of bread from their governments.

We are becoming more like them. The lazy people that do not want to work are taking the crumbs and letting them take more and more away from us.

Justifying my means with their ends.

I'm reassured when I see immigrants come here and exercise their newly-earned freedoms.


Many times it is an immigrant citizen who, with a tongue still from the Old Country, can enuncite better than the natural-born his liberties and freedoms in the New.

It's sad, but often true.
