@dcjogger What they call "Gun Control" is not gun control, it is merely the control of people, disarming them in various ways, so that they will lose or be unable to overwhelm a tyrannical government, which we now have, and have had since at least the founding of the Republican Party. Lincoln was a Tyrant. True Gun Control is merely the ability to aim and hit your target.
@dcjogger We used to call them "Bars"
@dcjogger The ancient Greeks said pretty much the same thing. I've been hearing it for the twenty years that I've been watching politics. It could easily be another twenty years before the collapse. Or it could start tomorrow. Not a lot I can do about it, except to peacefully live my life. And dance!
Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.
While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.
One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.
@dcjogger It looks like my follow of you from gab.com went through. Today itâs telling me Iâm already following. But I donât see any of your posts over there yet, so Iâll wait until I do to unfollow here.
You know that you are in hell when you live in a police state and are not allowed to say it.
What do you do when your society is collapsing in mass insanity?
Americans scream that the US would be a wonderful utopia with a clean environment if toothpicks were illegal, but do Americans think there would be no unintended consequences? Wouldn't toothpick factories close and layoff workers? Wouldn't more people be arrested? Would the tax rate rise to pay for prisons? Wouldn't more people have dirty teeth? Aren't there other ways to solve "problems" instead of decrees?
Americans insist spicy mustard should outlawed and say no one should worry because you could still buy regular mustard, but are Americans unable to understand that tyranny is a slippery slope that spreads like cancer? Do Americans realize that if you had 2 choices yesterday and 1 choice today that tomorrow you will have no choices? Didn't the USSR fail?
What's wrong with freedom?
Every new law means more people will decide to drop out and homelessness grows.
The US is so far gone now that Americans can't even agree that unconstitutional NSA wiretapping is wrong. Nazis will scream TSA groping is just fine because blacks exist.
How could anyone work today when their taxes pay for illegal immigrants, debt, war, curfews, gun bans, NSA wiretapping, checkpoints, forfeiture, the end to the right to silence, free speech bans, torture, kill lists, no fly lists, searches without warrants, private prisons, mandatory minimums, 3 strikes laws, DNA databases, CISPA, SOPA, NDAA, IMBRA, FBAR, FATCA, TSA groping, secret FISA courts, and Jade Helm?
Why work hard when the elites are just going to steal your money? Your taxes will be used to pay for the bullets used to kill you.
The USA is a police state now and no longer a democracy. Everything is illegal. The government is not legitimate and the government and illegal aliens don't obey the law.
Voting won't fix US debt, wars, and tyranny because every candidate has been bought off by the elites and the electronic voting machines can be hacked. Any moral politician will be ridiculed by the media as being a racist nutjob.
Americans could dropout and go Galt so the USA collapses, but Senegal is poor and the 1% there still remain rich. Even with satellites and security cameras, Americans still might be able to disappear and go underground, however, if they lose their names, work for cash, live on a sailboat, or live in a remote foreign place like Siberia or the Amazon.
Maybe the only real option to the police state is a revolution or civil war. This might not happen unless the economy implodes and may not occur for 30 years. Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Ukraine, and Iceland overthrew their governments. France and Hong Kong are protesting, but cowardly Americans do nothing.

Future generations will ask why didn't Americans resist when the US became a police state.
How could the most free country in the world spiral down to become a police state with death camps?
What kind of country do you live in when bank fraud is rewarded with billion dollar bailouts, the homeless are arrested, the rich can bribe their way into Harvard, and the stock and metals markets are rigged?
People seem able to tolerate an infinite amount of government abuse. Even North Koreans think that North Korea is a free country.
Are you just going to stay silent?
Americans are no better than animals at this stage. Nothing will improve because the elites have crossed every line and have seen that Americans will not protest anything while technology becomes even more powerful.
There is no reason to start a family now. The NSA knows if you go to the doctor, what you write, wiretaps your phone calls, knows when you travel, has your picture, knows your address, SSN, knows if you're talking to your lawyer, knows your bank balance, and what you had for supper.
If you become too famous then you will become a target or you must sell your soul and defend the ruling class.
Moral people like Manning, Assange, and Snowden threw away their lives resisting the 1%, but Clooney, Bush, Obama, Clinton, and Bolton are safe because they are Deep State puppets.
If Americans go to Disneyland or a baseball game now, they would be forced to carry a microchip and be molested.
Some places in the US may look the same as they did 40 years ago on the surface, but the people have changed. There are more illegal immigrants and Muslims and Americans have become more immoral, fatter, in debt, dependent, and more stupid.
The USA has declined to such a degree that the ruling class could outright order Americans to the concentration camps, and Americans wouldn't resist.
You get the feeling that the time to prepare is not tomorrow or next week or next month, but today.
