I don't like to use the term liberal when referring to progressives/leftist/socialists/statists. The true liberals in this country died out around 200 years ago, with the last of the founders. A true liberal would be one who is for personal responsiblility above all, one who understands that anyone walking free has all the same rights, no matter what the past holds, one who believes that the government is meant to be small. Very few of these live today, and none in politics. Call them what they are, but not liberal.
Good point, but liberals, today, call themselves liberal, their actions have defined their ideology. Conservatives and conservatism are no different.
The meaning has changed, over time....go figure.
But, we have what we have, today, not 200 years ago. It is today that we must concern ourselves with, unlike liberals who routinely go back 200 years to prove their point regarding the 'real' meaning and purpose of the 2A. Conservatives, or more importantly conservatism, on the other hand, today, goes back 200 years and reads what the meaning and purpose of the 2A was then and is today, base on what the drafters of that document meant it to be and what it's purpose is.
So, liberals OC, cool. If the state comes to confiscate their guns based on liberal (big government) politicians who get laws enacted to permit confiscation, will they still be a liberal?
By the way, based on my past votes, I can not be blamed for the erosion of our 2A right. In fact, my past votes have consistently gone to candidates that acted to restore my unfettered 2A right. It is all those other folks who are responsible. You vote for a liberal/RINO and a 'moderate', you deserve what you get. Unfortunately I have been affected also.
And, didn't Obama sign the law that allows carry on federal lands/parks? Props to him on that one.
