But those of us who do; have every right to stand by our family and friends... whatever the situation may be. This is the foundation of our country; and as much shit as we've been ripped through... the majority of us are still good. I will not march onto foreign soil for a cause I do not beleive in; but bring the fight to my beach and I'll be the first one there.
If you really need justification look back to WWII; when the united council asked why after bombing pearl harbour we were not invaded considering we were quite open to attack the response was simple... the vast majority of households own several firearms; a good number of which are of military grade. A land invasion would have been hopeless.
Form your own ideals; I simply will not hand over my ability to stand for what I feel is right and true. Abused as this privilege may be; I am not willing to sacrafice the ability to defend what I hold to be true for anyone, anytime, anywhere.
