    So it’s ok to pick and choose which parts of the 2A to read literally. Bullets aren’t technically an arm to bare so...

    But God forbid we take the ‘Shall not be infringed’ literally.

    If you think that's bad, can you imagine how much worse things would be under Hitlery?
    Isn’t that argument getting old? Every time I use it I throw-up in my mouth a little.

    During the primary we had some really good non-establishment candidates, but the republican base behaved like a class full of special-Ed kids when anyone other than the Orange man would talk. Wake up you bunch of water-heads (I’m not calling out anyone in particular) if orange man looses this time or we get a wacko leftist in the 2024 cycle we can assuredly flush the rest of our second amendment. Just because orange man good doesn’t mean we shouldn’t fight him tooth and nail where he’s wrong. The base did this crap with 43 and look what we have to show for it: the TSA, wars that are still going, NSA monitored phones.

    Seriously people we have to do better. Orange man good for economy, bad for liberty. Hold him accountable or STFU the next time we get an Obama or Clinton in office.


    Look I’m not trying to beat up on any one person or even pick on a group. I guarantee everyone of us have been guilty of saying well ‘at least he ain’t Hillary’ at some point. But that’s like your kid coming of from school with bad marks about following directions and a C- (when you know he’s capable of better) and thinking to yourself ‘at least he’s not retarded.’

    Exactly.

    At some point the Republican party shifted from a party of well-education adults to a bunch of anti-intellectuals thinking that if they just talk louder, they'll somehow be right.

    For all that people criticize snowflake hipsters, I think it's the current round of "republicans" that take the cake for being sensitive. Bring up just about any social issue and they'll turn themselves inside-out saying that it's either FAKE NEWS, a left wing conspiracy, or some other absolutely ridiculous excuse. God forbid that scientists actually be right about global warming, for instance.

    The problem, IMHO, is that both parties are now centered around consolidating power to push their party's social agenda on the rest of us. Democrats are better at the messaging ("it's for the kids!" or "it'll keep us safer!"), and none of it has anything to do with the ideas of freedom that this country was founded on.

    The second amendment isn't the only article of the Bill of Rights that is threatened by this. Both parties have proven that you don't have to play within the rules to effect change; in fact, in some cases it's more expeditious to go outside of the system entirely.

    I just pray that at some point we (collectively) find the fortitude to correct the wrongs that have existed for so long, and that the current president is making worse.

    Group think is the biggest threat to individual freedoms.

    Im a ‘climate denier’ because I don’t believe the hype, but I believe that our National forest and BLM land should be preserved for those that come after us as well as the species that those lands support. The uniquely American idea that wild animals belong to the public and not individual land owners is something that helps keep native species from becoming extinct in this country and should remain that way.

    I think pot should be legal because it’s not a gateway drug and it’s better for you than 90% of prescription painkillers and anti-psychotics.

    I also don’t believe it’s my business to tell an man or woman what they can or can’t do in the privacy of their own bedroom with willing adults.

    But conversely think it’s wildly unhealthy for society and the individual to pretend they are the opposite sex. Or worse butcher themselves to simulate the opposite sex.

    I do believe there is a larger goal in play by those who are pushing post modern/hedonism type agendas. Many think pot is part of that agenda. I don’t.

    Again the problem is group think. And it’s on both sides, it all stems from the willingness to abandon our principles and independent thought for victory. We don’t just let people label us any more we allow the talking heads to mold our thoughts without an ounce of skepticism.

    We all are the useful idiots who have allowed two corrupt parties to monopolize and highjack our government.

    Don't get me wrong and start looking for a rope to hang me ,BUT had Hilary gotten in I think the only thing that would have been worse in the short term would have been prices . The Republicans had the president the house and Senate for two years with a good chance the SCOTUS would be pro gun before any law they passed would be tried at that level . The Republicans in DC do not want to free us from fear of our 2 ond being infringed upon . Had Hilary gotten in we would have probably ( historically ? ) kept the house and the Republican party would use fear of her tyranny to keep us in their pockets . In the long run Hillary would have been the catalyst for either a civil war or destruction of our Republic ,or both , by loading the SCOTUS with socialist .

    I believe you are spot on, but it’s not just the 2A where they refuse to govern. We had the house and senate during Obama and could have overrode a veto if they were serious about defunding the ACA. They could have regained tons of ground and thumbed their nose at the poison pen, but they have no interest in governing and their interests certainly don’t align with the will of most of us. I have no faith in either party had a small glimmer of hope for Trump despite our overwhelming differences on principles. I thought maybe just maybe he could be the catalyst that cleaned up the political bull$***, but instead American politics are running farther and farther off the rails.
