The great divide
Was having an interesting chat back and forth on Facebook about gun controll that turned a bit broad. I figured it would be an interesting read here:
Christopher voted in the take your gun away Poll along with over 16,386 other people.

Republicans forgot the actual meaning of “strict constructionist” when they decided to toss out the bill of rights. Not only do you have the right to own a gun, but you have the right to freedom of speech and the right to a free press.
The key to my “liberal nature” lies in my belief in amendments 4 through 10.
The inherent nature of the republic demands that those minority voices be protected, and is the reason the founding fathers chose representative democracy rather than majority rule.
Republicans feel that the Bill of Rights do not apply to Islamic nutcases that want to kill us…
The Bill of Rights does specifically state a “Right” to keep and bear arms. It does not, however say anything about a right to an abortion, a job, healthcare & etc.
It is fashionable to say “never again”, I see a different path forming.
The divide between “conservative” and “liberal” is narrow at best on most issues.
The biggest issue however is that of legislation via a mandate from God. If done by a Mullah, we call it extremism, if done by SarahPAC, it’s called “family values”. The inconsistency built into the party, and the quest for denial of basic rights is a gap I can never bridge.
