No offense taken Skunk. Actually, I'd rather sound like a drama queen than sound like an Ostrich, keeping my head buried in the sand, or even worst, wind up like a chicken ... not saying anything until it's head is cut off.

What I posted is fact, easily checked by even the smallest of reviews. Have you tried to get a gun permit since the shelter in place order went into effect?

(Several other states have also tried to do the same thing, including our neighbor, Pennsylvania). Their order lasted for 48 hours until they were sued and they rescinded it. NJ has two lawsuits already and right now it's tied up in courts.

The fact is our rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States, are being taken away from us under the guise of "protecting" us. It's the exact same ploy that dictators have used for decades (if not century's) to gain control over us. If you're happy with that, it's all well and good. As for me, I'm not happy with it and I prefer to speak up about it.

After 9/11 they passed the Patriots Act that allowed them to spy on Americans. (They are "protecting us) Tens of thousands of cameras are everywhere, and now they are trying to get them all tied together into a National data bank. (Can you say "Big Brother")? New driver licenses are coming out ( Starting October 1, 2020, you must have a REAL ID compliant driver license/ID to fly within the U.S., unless you use a U.S. passport or another federally approved form of identification). This is a National Registration program. Sounds like Nazi Germany (papers please... let me see your papers)
Hell, half the Democrat party wants to turn us into a Socialized Country, even though Socialism has NEVER worked... not even once, and has usually led to Communism or some form of a dictatorship. Since the 60's the left has been brainwashing and indoctrinating our children. It started in the colleges, (90% of College professors are either far left or avowed Communists) worked it's way into high school and is now in grade schools. I could cite you several other examples, but you get the idea. So if I sound like a Drama Queen, or Chicken Little, or whatever moniker you want to hang on me, it's all good.

I'm old, I'll probably be dead long before we completely lose all our freedoms. But tell me, what are you going to tell your children or your grandchildren, when they ask you why you kept quiet and didn't speak up as your (and their) freedoms were taken away?
