because I am not involved....(I am using the statement for my case....not railing against the poster)......well that is exactly the problem we have in America today. We cannot just cherry pick and choose the freedoms we care to defend. What has been and is becoming more significant with each passing day/week/year, is that many of our values and freedoms are being modified or eliminated without even needing the direct support of the majority of we the people. Why? Because we the people are supporting the changes to our core values and freedoms by declaring to be not involved or not participating or not contacting their representatives on issues that affect our freedoms and values.
When they take one that folks are not involved with or not concerned about, they are only allowing the precedents to accrue and then move on to the next one....which may be one they do care about or concerned about....but then it will be too late.

You are involved. The armed citizenry is in fact keeping you and yours more safe on the streets and in your homes. Just do a little home work on the crime rates in those countries where guns are not allowed. Or the before and after rates where they have been eliminated. When will we the people rise to the occasion it is not gun control that brings safety....gun control.....water boarding like too many other current administration (all incumbents) objectives is politically motivated....has absolutely NOTHING to do with the care and preservation of the rights of we the people.

Unfortunately it is going to take a major life changing incident to get the attention of the majority who are we the people...something that will be so terrible they will see they ARE INVOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
