My friend told me he didn’t want to get a concealed carry license because that might put him on a government list. I had to think for a minute before I said anything.
My friend has strong political beliefs. He should probably stop donating to politicians if he wants to stay off a government list. My friend should probably stop donating to his church. Maybe he should turn in his guns too.
I do have a question for him. Let us say he, and millions of others, did all these things. Does that make us safer.. or are we at a greater risk of our government abusing its power?
What do you think? I'm asking for a friend. |

Just a few years ago, to get a carry license in Cali, one had to list the serial number of those handguns. You bet I didn't want to be on that list. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
