The Second Ammendment Lobby and Police Safety

Hey Slap !

Exactly ! With freedom comes a responsibility to lead an ethical life.

Seems our govt has a different definition of responsibility.

Stan/Slap,

There is a problem with this thinking. If all your government can expect from you is your personal responsibility to lead and ethical life - if there are no enforceable obligations - then there is no law. What you are describing is anarchy.

an·ar·chy
[an-er-kee] Show IPA

noun
1.

2.
political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control: The death of the king was followed by a year of anarchy. Synonyms: lawlessness, disruption, turmoil.

Is this where you see America heading, toward a state of no enforceable obligation - no law?
