I second all of this.We have done it before.
What you are talking about is just another form of oppression, but you are ok with it because you think you will benefit from it.
So what happens when the government becomes wary of the ultra conservatives, the gun owners, vets (probably have PTSD ya know). And damn, some of them vets are probably getting disability for injuries. Small change can remove their voice.
Then there is the REAL fracture that would form. It would push this country closer to another civil war than anything we have seen or thought of. And those who have the backbone to stand by their principles would not be at your side.
If I ever enter another war it will be to protect freedom, not take it away. Saying "nobody has a better plan" does not make a shitty idea a good one.
Besides, at the first hint of such a ridiculous idea gaining traction the libs/dems would have a lock on the elections for decades to come.
I would not vote for anyone who showed even the slightest hint of such an unamerican ideology. Almost makes Obama look sane. We are furious that the dems want to violate our rights, yet some of y'all have the audacity to suggest such a gross violation of the rights of others.
It is wrong. That is all I need to know to make up my mind. It is wrong and goes against everything I stand for and everything I swore to protect.
