Guys....I hope we never get to the point that we have to defend ourselves against the government.....If we get to that point then we may have lost our country.....I doubt we would be very successful in that endeavor....our 357's and assault rifles wouldn't be very affective against the armed forces arsenal....I doubt Mr. Jefferson ever envisioned a fighting force that could compare to our armed forces today...The only way our way of life can be preserved is to maintain control of our government through the political system.
Yeah I can't see it getting to that and I agree use the system vote out the lifetime dead beats and get this country back. I know it's vey complicated but starting with a REAL leader and a Congress that actually does whats right for us would be a blessing.
Man there are so many things wrong special interests, illegals, politicians fighting wars, sucking up to third world countries, giving money to countries that we don't have, healthcare, energy,...and so on and so on...
