    A free society does not deign to stop all crime before it happens. A free society accepts the\at there is risk in freedom.

    If you want total safety, a totalitarian regime is your best bet. You will not be a victim of crime under such conditions. You also will not enjoy the freedom you currently enjoy.

    If you want to live freely, you have to accept a certain level of risk. That's just life, and has been so for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.

    "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." I mean, come on. Ben Franklin nailed it almost 250 years ago.

    You should definitely screen him. You should definitely not allow him to buy guns without a background check. If you have laws about who should be able to buy guns, it might be a good idea to enforce them.

    In a free country you should have freedom from the government fucking you over for no reason other than they can. I am optomistic that with the unanimous Supreme Court decision on forfeiture and the increasing legalization of plants, we are moving in the right direction.

    The ability to plot large-scale murder is not an “essential” liberty

    A clear and present danger of imminent violence is not “no reason other than they can.”

    This passes for absolutely non-story these days. Each of this, what he said about Acosta and the moron he nominated for the UN Ambassador would be a multi-day story in any other administration.

    I like the Supreme Court decision as well. Policing for profit has got to stop.

    What will the SECessionist Conference do about this unspeakable display of contempt for Our Flag and Our Values? The responses to this tweet are vintage Trumpist/SEC. It is perhaps worth mentioning that a neo Confederate rally is taking place today in Oxford.
