Calls For Repeal Of The Second Amendment

[HerrKaiser]

We have now about 2 generations who take their rights, freedoms, and liberties for granted because it has been at least 2 generations since we have had a national incident or conflict which truly posed a truly significant challenge to our way of life and serve as an American rallying call. Fiercely independent as the American culture and people are, that only left us with an internal battle amongst ourselves and far from bringing out the best of us within peace we have instead used this peace to wage an ideological cold war against ourselves and neighbors. Its sad that after we attained world supremacy we will likely be defeated from within, not conquered from abroad.

I understand what you are saying, but I would have to disagree as I lived through 9/11 and my son has gone to war in iraq and Afghanistan. during my 10 months in Iraq, I met a 15 yr soldier with 7 one-year deployments and that is not uncommon. I think Iraq and Afghanistan count as fairly major (and which have lasted longer than the Vietnam War).

Although a hell of a lot fewer Americans serve their country than should.

And saying we will be defeated is a bunch of BS, we may stumble, but we aren't close to collapsing or being defeated!
