I agree we have it “pretty good.” But the fact of the matter is that we’re being regulated in a lot of areas where we shouldn’t be.
We can have guns, but the 2nd amendment intended far less restriction.
We’re not permitted to have certain guns to defend ourselves, that the government uses to defend themselves…that creates a bit of a problem.
I know what you’re saying with the 2nd part, but that’s like saying to your teacher…I know I got a C, but look at the kids flunking, I’m way better than they are, I don’t need an A.
We should be striving for excellence, and upholding the principles that created a great nation, not moving toward the ones that have collapsed entire continents.
