Deer Hunter Wrote:...alot has changed since Newtown and Aurora CO and Boston. We didnt have anything to do with anything but i'll be damned if I dont wake up everyday with our Politicians/Govt telling us what I can eat, what I can drink, how big that drink can be. Ive watche them as theyve systematically attack our Constitutional right to bear arms. I've recently watched LEO's on t.v. pulling an unarmed populace out at gun point and verbal threats with no warrant or even probable cause. Ive watched our Federal Govt lie, lie and lie on Benghazi. So im not saying theres any conspiracy but I can tell you that I dont recognize my Country anymore, the place I grew up in is gone.That's a common complaint throughout world history. It isn't unique to the United States, or even to the current Democratic Administration. And, there have been much worse violations by Republican Presidents.
George W. Bush lied to us about Iraq, and started an unnecessary war that caused more American deaths than 9/11. He also established secret prisons around the world, where inmates were tortured.
George H. W. Bush banned the importation of military-style semi-auto rifles.
Ronald Reagan sold weapons to Iran to fund a covert war against Nicaragua. He also banned production of machine guns for civilians.
Richard Nixon gave us Watergate. And during his reign, unarmed students were massacred by National Guard troops.

I empathize with you in lamenting many of the changes that have occurred over the years. As a teenager in the late-1950s and early-1960s, I was quite content with the way things were then, and very dismayed by a number of things that happened since then.
As somebody once said, the only thing that's constant is change. You can bemoan change, and occasionally you can slow it down, but it's extremely unlikely you can prevent it altogether, let alone reverse it.
