The biggest problem with the US today is that so many people would gladly give up freedoms that every dayour soldiers fight and die to protect. People always try to petition hate speech legislation, gun control,and anti-religious freedom bills all the time. Now I am not for hate speech in any way, but if ANY person can say someone has committed hate speech and then get that someone jailed how is our freedom of speech going to stand? It wont work! Now if we have gun control, first of all we will have thieves and murderers running rampant all over the nation. And most importantly, we will have a socialistic government come into place, If you don't believe that then just look at the countries of the world from 1900 to 2000.One of the first was turkey, they disarmed the Armenians and killed over two million of them. Then Germany under the nazis. Adolf Hitler himself once said that germany was the first modern nations to have gun registration and that the streets would be safer and the police more effective. After that the Jews were imprisoned. And many nations in Africa have followed the same course. And then China. But from these examples you should see that if you want freedom, even if a law would make you feel safer, You must not give up your freedom!
God bless the USA, and our troops!

Honestly, I don't think it is constitutional that we can have any gun control, like in New York or California. I mean, how would they define "infringed". If you were to go and say that you were a supporter of something the government doesn't like then they tried to shut you up, wouldn't that be the same a saying you cant own a 30 round magazine, semi auto AR 15 style rifle? Now I just don't get it... I believe it was the supreme courts decision that gun cotrol was constitutional in 1968. But if they can do that, and do something that clearly infringes upon our rights, where do we stop, next will be free speech, then freedom of religion, etc.
All I now is that if the people that came from England to escape persecution, the first members of the US, then they would have to look elsewhere to find a place where they were free.

We are quickly becoming a socialistic country. Our president is would like nothing better than to set himself up as the dictator in this country. He is fighting against everything that would make us a free nation. We need to pray that God's mercy will be upon us and get back to the basics that made America the envy of all other countries. Less government should be our motto.

We need to pray for His mercy, and His forgiveness. We have partly allowed this to happen. I highly recommend that Anyone who wants to know the truth watches a film called "agenda". If you haven't it shows how the socialists have been working since the 1960's. Between that, and just looking back on history you can kind of see how it will go. But here is a warning to the government. If they turn socialist just look at libya, lithuania, checklslovakia and the rest of countries that used to be dictatorships. A people that have had freedom will give it up, wonder why they did, suffer for a while, then get it back. That's how it always goes. Same thing every time

This is a good topic. I believe that the president knows that if you try to forcefully disarm a country you can't do it suddenly. He knows that the fighting spirit of the American people is unmatched, and that we wont give up our freedoms even if it means dying. But he also knows that we will give up certain things if a good argument is given. So what he and his friends do is they wait for something terrible to happen like Sandy hook, and they say if you don't give up this type of gun you are responsible for those innocent people dying. And many people can't stand up to that. And if you do they say you are insensitive. I know that if they said tomorrow "all guns are going to be confiscated" and were carrying it out, there would be an unbelievable push back from the people. I would push back. And I know many of my neighbors would. If that were to happen then there would be hope for us. But for now if the Dems lose the senate next election or we hold the congress then we will be alright for awhile. I doubt they will ever make a sudden move to grab your guns. What they will do is take away your semi auto rifles, then take your semi auto handguns, then revolvers, bolt-actions,pump shotguns and finally, your 22's and whatever is left. I hope we can turn things around. But I know we can't do it unless we all stand together. Although things look scary at times Americans aren't like other peoples we do what we think is right. We make mistakes at times (Obama) . But we can rise above our problems when we see what is right.
