So not in the last 100 years at least.

Seems the 1st Amendment is doing better than the 2nd.

I think you wanted a link instead of statistics.

Don't give a shit about someone's opinion piece on propaganda.

I've been off FB since then. I can't handle the twattery.
Yeah, the shooter is now in the witness protection program and the woman was wearing a bullet-proof vest.  The incident was staged to rile up the control freaks to demand the confiscation of people's guns.

I have to say, the folks who absolutely pin their gun ownership on some defense against tyranny ought to be advocating for the free proliferation of IED's.  That's what seems to work against the powers that be nowadays.  Avoid firefights like the plague, bleed em out with roadside bombs in the shape of tonka trucks.

Maybe that seems crazy to them, though..for reasons....
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Really?

Share that conspiracy theory you saw with me, Summer?  Curiosity. I like to stay abreast of general paranoia.

Did you want 100 different links with the same info or just one that you can bitch about?  Deal with the info.

No, I bloody don't deal with the info. Thefreerepublic isn't a source worthy of any consideration.

What freedoms do you think are actually going to be taken away at this point? We are so far past the 18th century. This isn't Red Dawn. If the gov't was actually going to oppress us, they have far more advanced methods. Your 9mm isn't going to do shit.

I don't personally feel that way and I don't own a fire arm. Never have. That is the the mindset of the average NRA member though.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
