The more security you demand from your government, the fewer the freedoms you will be allowed . . The Homeland Security Act took away many of your rights guaranteed by the fourth, Fifth and tenth amendment, and touched on several others as well . .
All to protect you (and your neighbor) from something you probably didn't need protection from, and if you did, you probably could have taken care of it yourself . .
Instead of securing our borders, the government is asking you to build a fort for your family, and make forts of your schools and other public places . . That's not freedom, that's "hiding from an enemy, whoever he might be"
And then attempting to take your guns, your only personal protection, away from you . .
