Consider your everyday beat cop. Sure, you need them when chaos erupts, when the wolves start prowling your doorstep—but here’s the ugly truth: the very system designed to protect your freedoms is also designed to exploit them. Take open carry, for instance. Perfectly legal in many places, a constitutional right proudly exercised by citizens across this land. Yet, any cop, any time, can and will roll up on you, disarm you, and pocket your firearm under the dubious umbrella of "public safety." And guess what? You’re not getting it back. Your property becomes theirs, seized under opaque regulations backed by badges and bureaucracy. It’s theft by any other name.

When corruption wears a badge, it poisons the whole well. The rot didn’t start with your local PD, nor will it end there. It courses through our institutions, hollowing out democracy from the inside. Kennedy’s assassination might have marked the loss of America’s innocence, but every stolen firearm, every seized dollar, every abused right since then has hammered another nail into the coffin of the American dream.

Today, it’s even darker. American citizens—fully legal, fully lawful—are now being deported or persecuted simply for protesting against foreign governments and their policies. This is the exact scenario our Second Amendment was forged to prevent. When your own government betrays its foundational principles and silences your voice, it’s time to remember the responsibility each citizen holds. This isn’t a call to violence; it’s a call to vigilance. It’s a call to stand firmly and unmistakably for your rights, to protect the freedoms so painfully earned by generations before you. Complacency is complicity. The moment to resist and reclaim our liberties is now.
