Believe it or not I don't post or comment on most articles I read and particularly try to avoid the ones that are most antagonistic or that don't make logical arguments. Here's one though that somehow touched me differently. It points out some of the hypocrisy behind demanding expanded background checks for gun ownership while letting so many other rights and privileges go unchecked. It's more than letting them go, actually. The same parties that have aggressively pursued restricting 2nd Amendment rights actively support these programs, these abuses, these 'personal liberties' and argue against their infringement. I've never understood what's "fair", "common sense" or "reasonable" about making it my responsibility and that of other taxpayers to pay for the abuses allowed by so many programs and taken full advantage of by so many. The Phil Mickelson's of the world pay MORE than their "fair share" in taxes and don't collect many of the services they pay for. Others pay nothing and reap as many benefits as they can. What's fair about that? Why are expensive privileges given away as if they were rights of citizenship or of simply being human when our actual rights are under attack?
