Not to offend anyone...
By appeasing the smaller group within the community. For instance, the laws now enacted to penalize "Hate Crimes". I guess beating a gay man, a black man, or whatever is worse then beating a white man, straight man, or whatever.(Myself, I don't see a difference, a beating is a beating and should be treated as such)
One person in the community doesn't like guns and thinks anyone that has one for protection is a criminal. So we should all bend over and please this one person? I think not! Not to offend any police officers we might have here but.... The job of the police department has changed over the years from protection to 'mop up'. Too many times I've heard the quote, "Call a cop, call for a pizza...." or "When seconds count, the cops are only minutes away...." Depending on where you live, these statements may be true....and you need to be armed and responsible for your own well-being!
Now if there was ever a case for a "soap party"(ask your military friends if you don't know what this is), the guy in Florida that thinks "GOD" needs to be removed from everything because it offends him. He went after the Pledge first in school, and won! WTF!!! He wasn't even in school.... Trying to please that one person, just one... will probably be the biggest factor in this country failing.
To early for all this negative thinking, I'm gonna go cut something up!!
