Monday's shooting at Virginia Tech is a reminder that the party that once championed gun control has been running away from it since the 2000 election.
  • American Totalitarianism

    The growing desire of Democrat/liberal voters for federally mandated "gun control" is among the many things that convinces me America will inevitable become a totalitarian state.

    Republicans/conservatives want federally mandated laws banning abortion, flag burning, and a number of other rights which seem guaranteed in the Constitution.

    Democrats/liberals share this desire for a totalitarian nanny-state. They just differ in the details.

    Both parties are united in one desire: to give the government ever more power to control our lives and impede out liberty.

    When both parties, representing a large majority of Americans, desire such things and push for such things, how can we avoid living in a police state?
