Ugh. Domestic disarmament my ass.
I know this is melodramatic, and typical right wing rhetoric, but i think
for our society, and a good start in that direction is by removing our ability to defend ourselves.
EDIT:
You know, I wonder. I wonder just how many people this gun control issue has pushed over to the right. Before all this BS, i was pretty much in the center, middle of the road. Some things the left did I agreed with, some things the right did I didn't agree with - and vice versa. However, the INSTANT the left started talking about infringing upon the second amendment, it pushed me off the fence and to the right. I wonder how many people have done the same. It also got me looking at the larger picture. In my opinion, this isn't about guns, its about the continued erosion of our civil liberties. It has to stop, and the way things are going, It seems to me a nation run by a left wing majority is a greater long term threat to our civil liberties and way of life then a right wing majority. (the latter of which will just leave us broke and impovrished)
