This Well said my friend. I've been saying this for years to people that think my black rifle is evil. I still remember a fool on the TV news after 911 about the Patriot ACT He said he didn't mind giving up some freedom for security Yeh People like this keep on giving up freedom and you won't have security you'll become a subject Hello IranI too am constantly thinking about the state our country is in. I have been doing the emails and calls and going to the rallys, but at the end of the day it seems like nothing has been accomplished by that. I do not want this country to slip into anarchy, if we give up, turn our guns in and roll over what then will be next? I hope that we can all agree and see it will not stop there. I like firearms, was raised around them my whole life as I'm sure many of you were. To me they represent freedom and security. If I was to ever give them away, what would I have? This country was built with firearms and people not afraid to use them. If we do become afraid to use them, then fellows I think we might as well turn them in because at that point we won't be worthy or deserving to have them. Not trying to make anybody mad, just typing what I'm thinking.
