FAFO! Too much of this BS going on. A very strong and deliberate enforcement of this country's law is required to restore normalcy to life in these United States.

They are all bad *** till someone fights back.
Notice how its all blue states.
Try that on a redneck, farmer or country folk, and even the women will kick their butt !

I found it interesting that 1/3 apparently believe violence in self defense is NOT ok. Really? 1/3 of folks think you should just roll over when attacked? Then the wonder why crime is so high. 1/3 won’t fight back, and then the legal system typically turns the thuggies loose. Gee, ya reckon that could be why street crime is up?

Personally people have a 1st amendment right to believe and say whatever they want. Yes there should be “the conversation” because we all see stuff differently. But if we have to get violent about it then yeah. Look what happened to CK.

Not in MY neighborhood! My sheriff says shoot home invaders and save taxpayers money. I do not believe there has been a home invasion in my county in 3 years since he said that.

I once heard that a Democracy was 2 wolves and 1 sheep voting on what to have for dinner. A Republic is the armed sheep contesting the vote.

During one of the World Wars, someone said there is nothing more deadly than a 19 year old American farm boy with a rifle. I believe that is still true.
