1. If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally, you live in a country run by idiots.

2. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion, you live in a country run by idiots.

3. If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor, or check out a library book, but not to vote on who runs the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

4. If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy leaders in Egypt, you live in a country run by idiots.

5. If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat, you live in a country run by idiots.

6. If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA, but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched, you live in a country run by idiots.

7. If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more, you live in a country run by idiots.

8. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of grade school for saying his teacher’s “cute,” but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable, you live in a country run by idiots.

9. If hard work and success are met with higher taxes and more government intrusion, while not working is rewarded with EBT cards, WIC checks, Medicaid, subsidized housing, and free cell phones, you live in a country run by idiots.

10. If the government’s plan for getting people back to work is to incentivize NOT working, with 99 weeks of unemployment checks and no requirement to prove they applied but can’t find work, you live in a country run by idiots.

11. If being stripped of the ability to defend yourself makes you more “safe” according to the government, you live in a country run by idiots.

Most of this is nonsense. Restrictions on large sodas were in place in NYC only for a period of months.

Ignoring the point as usual.  The fact it was even tried was idiotic.  And the rest is actual reality in the making.  Hardly nonsense

   This is the point of having Jury trials and elections.

     There is a base level of common sense whose reservoir is the common man.
      When the elite depart too far from the real world there is a baseline to return to.

There you go again, carrying on about how they took your guns away from you. What a crock!

You are not good at seeing what the point of anything is, sirs. My point is that this is a bunch of exaggerated horseshit and not worth reading.

   There is a general principal involved.

     More government will reduce freedom.

       Perhaps this isn't true , but it is intuitive very much.

         If someone wants to show that more government is good for freedom , he has to be specific, enough to overcome the obvious nature of the axiom, that more government is less freedom.

Which you apparently keep reading.  Good thing too, since all of it is actually pretty damn accurate.  No one said they're confiscating guns, Professor deflection.  The issue as it relates to guns here, is the making it harder to get, harder to carry, and harder to use in defense, such as limiting rounds in magazines....as if that's going to make the bad guy less murderous, while our justice dept literally dumps a multitude of what would be illegal for us to carry, into the hands of Mexican drug lords & cartels.  That's idiocy squared
