Isn't congress elected by us? I think. Is there someone else electing these people to the offices they hold? Or is it the fact that people would rather not see some guy run into a movie theater with a whole bunch of guns, did they stage that? Did they stage VA tech, 9-11, columbine? How are we to be safe in houses, if the second we step out of them we are moving targets. I am pretty sure you cannot reach your legal gun before the carjacker, or crazy person blows you away. Or am I brainwashed? I do not like government, nor do I like radical anarchists.
Many of our laws do not come from congress. For example, we have voted YES in two election cycles to allow medical marijuana. The law states that medical marijuana becomes legal once we have voted for it twice. But the local police don't like it and have busted down every dispensary using every other law in the books, like zoning violations, hours of operation, proximity to some other business, etc. all the way down to "loitering" if customers have to wait outside. This is not the law. The law says it's legal, but the police will MAKE it illegal however they can. We, the voters, have spoken, but our word is not heard.
There are many other instances like this around the country on a daily basis. The majority of this country does not want taxpayer money spent on abortion. The majority does not want Obamacare. But we get THEIR agenda shoved down our throats.
And, What to VA Tech, 9-11, and Columbine all have in common? The killers disregarded any "laws" against what they were doing. See, a determined criminal doesn't give a crap about a 10 round magazine limit, or a "gun free" zone. Or the fact that it is already illegal to kill a pilot while he is flying a plane.
Years ago thousands of people legally flew with guns in their pockets on planes. Yet somehow miraculously planes didn't fall from the sky. People are more courteous when they are armed.
And I'm not advocating anarchy. Not yet. I'm advocating keeping our rights so that IF anarchy becomes the last resort, we haven't already lost before it starts.
