(487 posts)A privilege is something you can take away, like a drivers license. A freedom is something that is static, and guess what the 2nd says, shall not be infringed. Know what infringed means?
I didn't say we fought the wars to only protect guns. We fought it to preserve the freedoms you want to throw away.
I already told you it is a much bigger concept, and I know what I fought for, why don't you know what I fought for?
You are welcome to an opinion, not to destroying the constitution on a emtional whim. Opine away! Protest!
Being in public is protected by the 1st Amendment. Show me where you can be in public without fear? That is not a freedom or a priviledged right. Cops have no more right to bigger guns than I have. If I had the money I can buy an assault track, a jet, a battleship, a cannon, a tank, or whatever. Go look up militay sales and sin no more. We have people in this country sending rockets into space, and you think I can't be armed as well as cop on the street?? LOL!
Yes, freedom does require responsibility and it is time you become responsible for freedom. Because everytime you give away someone else's freedoms, you have just limited your own.
Yes, those kids paid a price for freedom that you as an adult are afraid to make. Those that cannot protect freedom, don't deserve to have it.
