Interesting article about how we got where we are and some thoughts about the NRA.
Modern America is pretty much a dystopia to me at this point. Neither the elite nor the masses have any reason to embrace liberty and institutions that teach that there is a such thing as "truth" are becoming far and few in between.
The State has already deconstructed and rewrote US history. The philosophical underpinnings of our inalienable rights have been swept away. Nobody who is anybody really believes in rights endowed by God or discoverable natural rights.
Like Pontius Pilate, the power brokers, bureaucrats, educators and elite look at us and say "truth? what is truth?"
