or, Why I’m a Member of the NRA and Concern Myself with Politics
I understand this video is old, but I had not seen it before tonight. Chances are it is also new to some of you. It teaches lessons on our Second Amendment liberties that also pertain to our liberty in general. It demonstrates the evil fruits of citizen apathy and the fallacy of placing trust in government. Apathy is clearly a domestic enemy of our Constitution that we must fight.
In the words of the narrator, the Brits have only “themselves to blame for government policies that threaten their way of life, their security and the future of democracy in Britain.”
In the words of a Brit: “It’s a disgrace really. We’ve seen these fundamental liberties, eroded in the last 20 odd years in England, all sorts of legislation that should never have appeared.”
Another Brit: “We’ve been apathetic for years and now we are paying the price for it”.
A warning from Britain: “Learn from our experience and don’t give an inch. Your Constitution matters. Your Freedom matters”. “Don’t be apathetic, get out there and fight.”
My two cents: Government offers safety, comfort, and prosperity in exchange for taking away our liberties and expanding their powers. Rarely do they deliver and even when they do, the price was too high. Will we be seduced like our brethren across the Atlantic? Politicians promised safety. Citizens went along quietly as legislators eroded their liberties. Judge the results for yourselves and ask yourself if you are guilty of apathy. If so, do something about it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Greg, I hadn't seen this either but I had heard about their gun policy and the devasting negative results of it. Hopefully Americans will stand up and not mirrir this on this side of the pond.
