    Upset about the direction this country is headed

    It bothers me quite a bit the direction were headed as a country. There are so many anti second amendment people with misguided opinions and no real knowledge on the subject. And everyone is entitled to their opinion but the problem is their sh*ty opinions become laws that strip us of our rights.

    People who are in any way shape or forum anti second amendment are just the absolute worst people in my opinion. They want to strip us of the most important right we have.

    I am not a fan of the two party system we have as well. I am registered as a republican because I agree mostly with that party however there are some things I disagree on. I would say I’m a libertarian, a party which definitely deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

    It blows my mind how anyone could agree with pretty much anything a Democrat says. And it’s sad that a majority of our country votes for these idiots. I mean, Hillary won the popular vote... that scares the sh*t out of me.

    And now everyone wants government controlled health care. There’s a reason why we have the best health care in the country and that is because government is not involved. You don’t see people traveling to Canada or any other country for cutting edge treatments. There’s a reason why we’re the best and why the best foreign doctors come to the US to practice.

    I’m sick of all the entitlement as well. Everyone feels they are owed something and no one believes in hard work and blue collar jobs are looked down on. It’s amazing these liberal colleges can charge so much for tuition and then all the liberal students complain about the high cost of a college education. And then after they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on some useless degree they want their student loans forgiven because their four year degree in women studies only got them a job a Denny’s.

    This isn’t well written and I apologize for that but I just needed to vent. And even though I can’t stand liberals/Democrats, I certainly am not close minded and would welcome a different point of view on these subjects, or any other political subject (except the second amendment, you will never change my stance on that) Like I said, different points of view are welcome and I am more than willing to have a civil dialog with anyone who has a different opinion. This post was not made to offend anyone or cause any type of hostility.

    Move to Hamlet, Alaska. Full off grid. Cabin, wood fireplace heater, polar bear rugs for kinky threesomes, etc.

    Bring Tren

    Bring both of your wives with you. Or your wife and mistress, or wife and lover, or mistress and lover.

    Bring Tren

    On the way there, Stop at costco to stock up, 10 of everything.

    Cialis - emergency stash for the 2 women.

    Bring Tren

    One suitcase just for gear. One emergency Letrozole pill just incase.

    Maybe a couple of backup blenders. With a baby on the way you can't afford to have a broken blender. How's the baby going to get yoked off protein smoothies otherwise?

    Congrats to the newborn.

    In this land of diversity there are too many people with too many different views. How will they ever agree?

    It’s a fundamental issue.

    If you stop voting then you wont feel the need to watch the news. Your world will then only consist of things that actually matter.
    -
    One thing you could do, show up to the voting precinct and pick out someone you think is a moron-like a goth, punk, old person, right winger, etc... ask them who they are voting for and then vote the opposite.
    -
    Never have to watch ___________ News again (insert: MSNBC, FOX Entertainament News, CNN)
    -
    BTW, I'm a former Marine who marched in pro-2nd amendment rally, in Richmond, a few weeks ago and I'm voting for Bernie, or trump. (And, fuck medicare for all, AOC, and Wellfare for corporations or for anyone other than needy women with children). How ya like that-

    I was happy to see all the patriots show up in Virginia but sad to see they still passed the laws anyways. They just keep chipping away at the 2nd amendment and it needs to stop.... but it never will.

    Literally my plan for dealing with gun confiscation. Throw a little Tren base and some ephedrine in there.

    I vote for two Americas.
    Rural and urban.

    The non morally convicted people can have their liberalism and laws and the rural can have their laws or lack thereof.

    I mean... Its always been this way.
    We dont see eye to eye and won't. So they can have their socialism fed entirely off their cities tax which will be forwarded to the federal government to oversee infrastructure.

    So no more cities. Just one big city getting swarmed with illegals with everyone laughing and holding hands sharing the gold they pick from the streets.

    Likewise the rural areas can do away with any local laws and just abide iff the original constitution of the united states, disallowing their state to make any infringement on their rights because we will have our own fed. It will be a government of nothing more than checks and balances. It will have all government institutions privatized to the lowest bidder. We are the goddamn military in RA.

    Should UA be attacked by a foreign invader we can come save them because we are bored anyway and who are they to invade and bully our pussies!?

    Those are our pussies! Sonsabitches!

    Anyway I digress...
    We are capitalists they are socialists so we can put our methods of self responsibility in all matters to the test vs. their methods of pooling money and fucking off and feeling entitled.

    Illegals in RA will be shot on discovery.
    We will take down the wall on the border and set up gun towers and warning signs in spanish and english. Towers will be private donation funded and manned by retired guys that just like shooting.

    We will subsidize busch light though.
    Towers will be stocked at all times.

    Coke is legal now.
    Metheads and Crackheads will be given 60 days to dry up and then the first tweek season will officially be open.

    UA travellers will be permitted on interstate and city highways only. RA on state and county roads only.

    If UA needs food we can establish trade maybe.
    We can give them food and they can give us... Insurance or something else useless.... We will be a good sport. They are our pussies after all and we wouldn't want them to starve.

    Was in Los Angeles today and let me tell you I picked up a hell of a lot of gold off those streets, lol.

    Not a lot of hand holding though, lots of scummy homeless people and tourists/foreigners that likely have the corona virus. Speaking of which, that shit is in N Korea now, maybe it’s problem solved.

    In Los Angeles, the immigrants (legal & illegal) make some pretty damn good chow (the tamales in particular are out of this world), so we might not need you rural folk for food.

    I’m also thinking all of our gang bangers might not be so eager to give up their territory & are damn well armed, so there too, we might be ok.

    Us good and decent rich folk can make a deal with the homies & agree to not arrest them if they only kill and rob each other & will gladly pay them lots of dough to help fight off commies, arabs & North Koreans (if they don’t all die from the coronavirus) that want to attack us. We have plenty of wealth to give them, just as long as they don’t turn around and use that wealth to buy homes in our neighborhoods.

    road, you and I are coming up with a nice plan for our country. Let’s run for office!

    You’ll see if you haven’t used it yet. I tried it my first time at the age of 61 ( I believe you’re a year older than me if I’m not mistaken). It’s kinda cool stuff, trust me.

    Just pointing out in seriousness its all republicans faults.

    Now they have proven they wont do anything but sit and talk tough about the same revolution they been talking about since end of the civil war.

    They lost.
    Everyone is to fat and lazy and happy to ever do anything but get in a cage and be taken care of.

    YB289, you're having your first kid. Dont worry too much. Its not going anywhere.

    You can either raise your kid to be a free criminal or law abiding sheep.

    Government granted freedom has been gone here for a long time. Now you just have to take your god given freedom and do what you want.

    Trump presided over more firearms legislation than any president since nixon while keeping the 2A crowd kissing his feet because he had an (R) by his name.

    Obama couldnt have got away with this.
    There would have been rioting.

    Its all just a game. Nothing you do will make a difference and whoever you vote for you lose freedom...

    This is how I became a criminal. Always will be too.
    We all use outlawed class 3 shit. What are we all doing?

    Same with guns. You cant stop a free man and I am free because I say so. Not because my government says so.

    Freedom is a burden.
    It means you gotta take care of yourself and walk your own path with many enemies.

    Thats why most are socialists. They couldn't handle freedom.

    No road, let’s run together bro. Let’s agree on our disagreements & unify on our belief of a divided nation. Let’s get these blind, dip shit politicians out of office & lend some guidance to this fine country that is indeed worth saving.

    Its gone man.
    I can ship my gun parts to another country and break less laws there and serve less time if caught.

    I am here to make money. I likely will die doing just that here. If I ever sit down and retire it wont be here.
    Theres less americans here every day. Given current immigration in 20 years I hope I am dead so I dont have to go around smelling curry everywhere I go and spending so much time on finding ways around the most densely regulated nation on earth.

    But he's right...

    I been living and retired now for 13 yrs, 10 of those in Eastern Europe, and in some ways, there is more freedom, in many ways, abroad, than in the states today...

    70,000 pages in tax code, IRS revenue regulations, and case law surrounding it alone.
    Every code was written up by republicans and democrats equally, voted on by them, and defined by judges of both parties.

    I have a lot bigger knot in my gut over this than the thought of someone coming into my house and taking my guns, which will never happen.

    They will be taken by stroke of a pen and guess what... You cant shoot a non-compliant firearm. So it will stay tucked away and your kid's kids will accept that they are illegal and remember your clinging to them as just something crazy ol grandpa did.

    This will happen because we have all clearly acknowledged we will never stand together in a group large enough to be considered anything more than an extremist faction, protesting.

    Can you own an AR or AK? How about a handgun?

    Absolutely. In Poland, you can own both, but you have to apply for another permit, on top of the one or more permits that are already in your posession...

    Just way more controls in Europe...

    And concealed carry permit = FORGET ABOUT IT... Unless you are a major, major businessman, or have some other reason...

    Overall, a much safer place to live...

    Poland is one of the few places who are not having problems like most of Europe thanks to them having more gun rights as well as tight immigration policy. I hope they keep it up and I hope the US will follow suite and get control of our immigration problems.

    Most Americans are under the guise that guns are illegal in all of europe when they aren't fully outlawed anywhere to my knowledge.

    If they realized this and the percentage of combined taxes the pay in comparison, they wouldn't be chanting, "Merica, freest cuntry in the werld!".

    They are basically clueless as to how close we are to losing a power seat we will never get back.

    People confused "wealthiest" with "most free."

    The thing that is coming next to the US is magazine restrictions.

    Just way more controls in Europe...

    How is it much safer if you have to apply for all those permits? You didnt say you order the permits, you have to APPLY, which means they can deny it. If honorable law abiding citizens have to beg and jump through hoops, you are not safer. They just havent gotten to you yet.

    All you ever see on TV shows in england is double barrel shotguns. even the cops have to call for real cops with guns whenever something happens that you would need a cop for.

    We are just a breath away.
    High cap restrictions are coming soon.

    Personally I don't care for high cap rifles though I built many.

    A decently tuned bolt action is 10x as deadly in my hands.

    The UK has no convictions as a whole.
    We are headed where they are now. The only reason we aren't there already is because of the sheer landmass and farm terrain in the US. Rural and small town people are the only reason we have firearms rights of any kind above england.

    The mindset and understanding of the world are night and day different between the two.

    When I used the term "safer" I meant in regards to random gun violence on the streets, etc...

    Safer, in the sense that when a verbal altercation ensues; you can be sure that the guy standing in front of you isn't packing heat. The national gangbangers (made up in this country of each cities football hooligan fans) don't carry guns...

    When the police stop your car, they never search you or your car. Thank god for that because last winter I was driving home on a snowy night, made an illegal left-hand turn, and got stopped... I had some weed on me. The cops just cited me, and I was on my way...

    Safer, in this sense. Of course I agree with you (as an American, who happens to live abroad) that my rights are perhaps, less safe than in the States, but overall much safer, in a general sense...

    I got stopped maybe one or two times a year for the last 40 years, and i never had my car searched. Just once when I was 17 maybe. Now if i was cussing out the cops, maybe they wanted to find something to burn me, but i am always polite and never have an issue.

    I got searched a couple times but thats small town cops with nothing to do and one of them I uelled at a lot and wanted to hit when he pulled me over because I hate that area.
    Primarily because the cops pull over everyone there.
