@ Citizen..

Speaking of those CFL light bulbs that our government is tyring to make manditory to stop "global wamring" you know that poison C02 that plants breath and is a basic bulding block of life...I find it funny that GE makes all those bulbs...and who did Obama appoint to head of job creation?...and what company didnt pay their taxes and got away with it?...and while Obama bankrupts Cole plants, what company did he completely exempt from the new regulations?.... Again Obama tries to enforce something, congress says no so he does it anyway. With the gun shops on the border, with giving amnesty to 300,000 immigrants, etc etc etc! the list goes on, but now i see those STUPID "rock the bulb" stands around WA where they will give you free CFL bulbs...in my world nothing is free for a reason, thats why I dont take the Vaccines that they basically beg the people to take. My point is..heres an interesting thing about those bulbs they dont tell you...

View attachment 6791

and for anyone who doesnt know what the EPA says you have to do incase one of these bulbs break in your house...you dont wanna know cuz if one breaks you will have to take the day off to take care of it

I cant figure out with all he has done, against the wishes of Americans, that he still holds the title, President. I dont understand why he cant be voted back out. He still has a whole year to finish alot of things he has started. I think some are just smoke screens to keep the public occupied so as not to notice other things he is doing.

Yeah. That gun on your hip, remember? In how many other nations on earth can one lawfully (as opposed to by lack of law) walk down the street openly armed? I know the Swiss arm their citizens, have any info on Swiss carry laws?

The Swiss laws on carrying a firearm (other than militia members) is pretty much like any "Restrictive" State here in the US. Have to obtain a permit and permits have to be justified. Usually nobody but "security" jobs are eligible.

I'll bet they didn't have a light. You know, even bicycles gotta have lights now.

And, they probably didn't have their big day-glo orange triangle for slow-moving vehicle.

They will always find a way to control. It used to be that sensable citizens would ride their bike to the bar so they didnt have to drive a car and get a DWI. Now they arrest people on bikes for DWI, then people started just walking from bar to bar, now they arrest them on public intoxication. They have to be in control.

From ATLAS SHRUGGED:

REARDON: "But, after all, I did break one of your laws."

FERRIS: "Well, what do you think they're for?"

Dr. Ferris did not notice the sudden look on Rearden's face, the look of a man hit by the first vision of that which he had sought to see. Dr. Ferris was past the stage of seeing; he was intent upon delivering the last blows to an animal in a trap.

"Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?" said Dr. Ferris. "We want them broken. You'd beter get it straight that it's not a bunch of boy scouts you're up against--then you'll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We're after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you'd better get wise to it. There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What's there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted--and you create a nation of law-breakers--and then you cash in on guilt. Now that's the system, Mr. Rearden, that's the game, and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with."

As long as you & I can walk around with guns on our hips, AND challenge affronts like the OP as civilized men in a court of law, liberty is not yet​ dead.

They throw you a few bones, to keep you subjected.

Did you pay a tax on your gun? Can you carry any manner you want? Where is your 3 round burst AR?

Yes liberty is dead in many respects, we are already a socialist country. The government has found the loopholes around owning you by regulating you effectively rendering you un-free and a subject.

Should read Omnipotent government by Ludwig Von Mises. Dealing with Germany mostly and the rise of Nazism.

Better yet read this it's quicker, it is a link I got from Citizen. Don't fall for we are a free country because we they allow us to do this.

Heres a snippet.

Slaves, though, who labored under the illusion that they were free. The people were a simple lot, politically speaking, and readily mistook the ability to give free reign to their appetites as the essence of "personal freedom."
