[QUOTE="BP338, post: 273707, member: 415"] Nailed it!! That's the thing about rights and freedom...if you take away agency (whether taken by force or given willfully) you take away the true meaning of freedom. Many in our country believe that the only power it has is to pay someone else to fight our battles. I hate that this way of thinking gets classified as "libertarian". I hate that there are actual "sides". IMO, you are on the side of freedom or you aren't. Take, or give, away your agency and you are no longer free. I have done the NRA thing. I see what they are doing and what they have done. I disagree with a lot of it. The idea is good I guess. Does anyone think if the NRA started selling memberships to the people of China they'd get to have gun rights to take over their government and free themselves? Or maybe Venezuela? I think not. The power comes from the God and the people. The world wouldn't be where it is now if it wasn't for inspired men willing to give their lives for actual freedom. That had nothing to do with memberships, and it shouldn't have anything to do with it now. [/QUOTE]
