The unconstitutional Patriot Act says they can do that to citizens too, as long as they're suspected of terrorism. That's why everything is "terrorism" these days, because under that accusation they'll strip you of your constitutional rights and do whatever the fuck they want. It's tyranny.

Still, as a person not interested (usually) in agreeing with my counterparts, notice how this is a "good guy with a gun" situation. So maybe militia movement has a point. They just don't know how to use their correctness outside of their one part of society's fabric, but that's up to those who know those other parts. Cooperation and collaboration, all that.

And almost any "good guy with a gun" can be called a terrorist formally. It's an arbitrary separation.

So maybe gun rights really are human rights.

You've probably noticed how in any group the best decisions are made when every opinion is respected, and if it's incomprehensible, made comprehensible with good and kind effort, and where aggression and expulsion are minimized.

It's the same in politics.

Lefty here, yes, that is what we, including George Orwell, have been saying for years.

Yes, my aunts, uncle and cousin live in a country reproducing "Animal farm" the last 6 years, with the end goal of being occupied and turned into a reservation. That book is more like reality than many would think.
