Civil liberties, which were guaranteed in the Constitution, were seriously hampered, if not downright crippled, by changes in the nation's laws that allowed the government to perform otherwise illegal search, surviellance and siezures only on the suspiscion that someone, anyone, was a terrorist. This was just the tip of the iceberg.
Hmm. Neither Wilson or Lincoln rhymes with tush. Nor does Roosevelt.

The Constitution should not be tampered with...period. So yes, I agree, hang them by their thumbs from the Washington Monument if they attempt to change any portion of the Constitution.
Tawabawho?
You'll get no argument from me. Hang the lot.
But when you do, remember that the 2nd Amendment is just as important as the 1st, 4th, 5th, and all the rest.
Mercy is the mark of a great man.
Guess I'm just a good man.
Well, I'm alright.

How about this...
Instead of trying to ban all weapons, or conviscate them, or price them out of ownership...
We make it law that you MUST be armed. You MUST carry AT LEAST a handgun (of no less than 9mm) on you at ALL TIMES. And you HAVE to know how to use it.
Unless you are a convicted criminal or crazy, EVERYONE must be armed, starting at 18.
(Before 18 you must carry a knife and know how to use it.)

Not in English...he's speaking Gibberish (the native tongue of Gibraltar) in which everthing rhymes with "tush" except "Crazytalk" which sounds like "Geezer".

Wulf, it's called Kennesaw, Georgia.
And it WORKED.

Of course, when it didn't match with the gun-grabbers predictions of social chaos and a "gunfight on every corner" - they dropped it right down the memory hole, believe it.

It cannot be said enough, those who do not learn from history, are doomed to endlessly repeat it

I always thought/knew it would work.
Give a society the ways, rights, and means to protect themselves (from government AND from each other)...
Then there will be peace.
For all the whining many do for peace, they never REALLY want it. They will never take the steps to insure and enshrine it.
I don't believe that peace is just the calm between wars, but rather....it is found when every citizen has true freedom and the ability of self-determination.
That can only be had when everyone has the power to protect themselves. When the government (and its representatives) are held in check by that same power of the people.
In truth, why do we think we need cops?

Same reason we "need" Government.
*spits in disgust*
Either one is just a freakin plague masquerading as it's own cure - always was, always will be.
