Pretty soon we will be called The Nanny States of America.

I remember us shooting our compound bows at targets under the bleachers during recess. We had to get approval from the principal and shoot in a spot that was fenced and was sort of enclosed away from everyone else. He was of the mind that we were at least sort of doing something constructive. There is no way in Hell that would happen at a school now.

Just remember on that history thing that history is also constantly being written and rewritten, whether it needs to be or not. Think about that. Think about how opinion has been inserted into textbooks over the years, especially so now more than ever.

One of our good friends libertyfirst quoted it best last week:

"The idea that we should be expected to follow all laws blindly is repugnant."

Personally, I think this country is run too much by money than intelligence, good judgement, and common sense. I want TRUE America back.

History deny's in the minds of those who are doomed to repeat it. I'm with ya, to bad we can't convince those who deny history.

2nd that!

We need a resurgence to take back our morality on a personal level first and foremost. We need to instill a sense of honor and values to our children. They are being influenced WAY too much by pop-culture and the school system. That mixed with complacent parenting on way too large a level puts this nations at its current crossroads. Are we going to take it back one person at a time, or are we going to let go?

Even if we elect the right people, there will still be the ills of society and the problems out there which are turning people in the wrong direction.

The fight for the hearts of this nations will have to be a trickle-up effect that requires all that can stand up for their beliefs.

This country is based on the freedom of a man to do what he will, but its also based on Judeo-Christian values (highly written into the laws and the Constitution), and hard work. It won't be easy, but we can take this country back. It can't be done by 1, or 535 people, but by the millions who are willing to stand up and defend their morals... God willing with a pen before it comes to arms.

Things definitely aren't the way they used to be. My father in law told me how that when he was a kid, he could take his rifle to school and leave it in the principal's office until after school, so he could go hunting with his friends afterwards.

I will give you the fact that there are similarities to past evenst, and history frequently repeats itself - if only because people never really change, but we will probably not see a rebellion anytime soon. The reason why the American Civil War, for instance, was allowed to happen was because there was widespread local support by the local governments and militias. In other words, you'd have to have states seceding again, or it would be too hard to mount any sort of large scale operation.

Sure, guerilla warfare might be possible, but with it come all the logistical and intelligence problems typically associated with that.

Dissent does not always mean open revolt, there are several levels of unrest we've have to pass through before we reached that point.

amen to that,winchester.

I remember having guns behind truck seats or in trunks of cars in school parking lots as well and as long as they were locked in the vehicles and met state laws for transportation they were fine.

This current administration reminds me of the forced occupation of the South during the reconstruction period following the war of Northern aggression.

Civil liberties infringed upon
The Gov't wanting/ imposing its own laws,will, agendas forced and chastizing in this case anyone who opposes them rather than jailing them without a trial.

Also with that being said The sickening ... belittleing of anyone who wants to keep their constitutional rights.

The annoying political correctness this country has taken that shames us to know end because everyone should be a winner and not have their feelings hurt or their right to conduct criminal activities including illegal immigrants with the backing of ACLU, SPLC and if they're black the NAACP.

But low and behold no one cares about the honest law abiding citizens rights or opinions.
