something to think about - The Firearms Forum

In the american revolutionary days, those who chose freedom over oppresion decided to give up all that they had in order to win freedom from England. Most gave much more than they got back, but that's the way freedom is won. Do any person's in this day and time feel like 'giving up' all they have to join the fight for freedom again? This time the freedom fight is from within, not a foreign power. No, i'm not talking about a violent overthrow nor violence of any sort. I'm talking about legal means of 'changing' our present situation. It takes MONEY (which is a bad word to many), time, effort, talent, sacrifice to do this. Has our society gotten so apathetic that we would rather spend our time at pleasure than winning back our freedoms? There are no easy avenues to freedom and no easy answers on how to obtain it, but it must be a real effort on each and everyone to do so. It is a huge struggle, but it must be done are we will all be "licking the boots of tyrants".

The time is now to win back our country!

Just as the economy MUST be allowed to reset (and it's not), and there must be consequences during that reset, so too there must be consequences for the choices the country has made politically. We have not yet begun to experience those.

There is no way to take this country back at this point. The people wanted change, and they're getting it. It may take generations to reverse this process. Personally, I don't think it will ever be reversed. We are on the path to a socialist dictatorship, or completely disintegrating from within, fractured by fighting amongst ourselves. It's what decades of apathy has brought us. Those are the two options. There is no third option of "peacefully taking America back using founders' principles." Won't happen. Those behind the scenes, pulling the strings will not allow it - that would mean they would be exposed for who they are and what they've done. They hold too many of the cards and won't allow it.

History teaches that once a nation is on this path, there is no recovery. Sorry for the downer, but that's reality.

You're going to see an escalation of "movement" towards more government control here, as the ones in power (and I don't mean the democrats) see more of the people speak out and rise up.

This is a no win situation.

The economy has not been allow to find its own equilibrium since feds began printing extra money
and doctoring interest rates to control recessions and inflation. We've been on downward spiral
for a long time.
