"By what or whom? That's what I'm talking about, enemies don't surround you, citizens of this country do."
When citizens of this country try to take my rights, any of them, away, then I have my weapons in hand. The safety may still be on, but I will defend myself and my family as needed.
If you are the same way, good for you. Be proud. Be safe. Be armed.

Fred,
Just so you understand, I'm not in stark disagreement with you, I simply find having an objective approach, one that is laden with pragmatism, a necessity in these times as opposed to espousing knee-jerk reactions....that's really about the extent of it. If you recall your firearms training "always know whats behind that target before you pull the trigger"...that's really all I'm saying here. There is too much emotionally driven outrage on these forums in my honest opinion.

I'm sorry, but if what we are seeing with the extreme left and the complete garbage that is being thrown out there, a knee jerk reaction is what is going to happen.
I have seen open threats against just about every race on the planet. Hatred of anyone that doesn't see the same way as someone.
I am just saying that I will defend my family, self, and everyone else and their rights to express themselves with free speech, even those stupid KKKer's, they have the right to say what they wish.
Violence is where the line gets drawn. If that continues, and if this is taken to the extremes that it appears it is about to, things are going to get ugly, quickly.
Myself and family are readily prepared.

Give these people stuck in the past some time......they'll dust off the 'white only' signs and enforce it in reverse. Because it is not about the progression of our society, it is all about destruction and reversal of gains made.
Worse, at least to me it seems, that an UNbalanced scale is what is being fought over, not a balanced one. And to me, that's just incredibly stupid....what's the point in fighting for equality if one is going to foment inequality in the process?

Two psychos playing war games and involving the children of the world in their paycho heads. One of the psychos will lose all touch with reality.

Charges? Court? Jail? No. Then it's all bs. I'm sorry you all were duped by party politics and fake news from Russia. You're the laughing stock of the globe.

I've been around for a while. I never expect purity of behavior from any rich politician.
Trying to debate with lies is futile.
