I see what you are saying BB, I think there is about 10% of the country that still have balls and wont stand for it even if it comes to the gravest results, remember what happened the last time these jackassess tried this sht, ended badly for all involved in RR, Waco, and OKC. Its unfortunate our Elite think so little of us that they think everyone is swayed by the MSM, they truly think everyone is a sheep ready to just roll over and give up their rights and be controlled by them. Its going to get ugly before it gets better in my opinion. As far as the blue hats, I don't think they would make it to the 3rd house before the helmet go's from blue to red, local cops in most of the country will have a hard time doing gestapo raids on normal people, its just not in their character, plus they have to live in these communities, our Military will not do anything like this on a massive scale, the troops would go home first.
All this being said I think something has to be done, but its not the guns or the people having too much freedom, its normal civility of our culture. When you have 60 percent of babies being aborted in the inner city, its a stark lesson about our civil society's view on the value of human life, not a bible thumper by any means but we as a society reap what we sow. In the time it took Obama to put on his show of giving a eulogy/political speech in Conn more babies were aborted in NYC than were killed in Conn. Then there's the mental health system in the US, back in the late 70's and early 80's we emptied out our mental health institutions, for many reasons, some were libertarian some were just revulsion of the horrific conditions there, again not the best thing our government is able to due. Should be left to the religious community to do with government support.Either way this was the birth of the homeless community, most of whom ended up in jail instead of being in a hospital, this is called unintended consequences (Geraldo Rivera was the instigator of this movement that started in NY). I think we need to restart the mental health system again with better and more humane controls and facilities than we had back then, its something the states with federal overlook should be able to handle, it would be cheaper and more humane than putting the mentally handicapped in jail of letting them live on the street. It might even lower the barrier parents and family feel before trying to get help for these people. I say this as a libertarian leaning individual.
End of the day I am not giving up my rights or letting anyone ever take them away, man up America.
