The American revolution, like most revolutions, has strayed quite far from its
roots. History has a way of repeating itself, because people really don't
change. Bigotry, greed, fear and general stupidity have a tendency to take the
upper hand over time unless you fight them, fiercely and constantly.
In a time when many governments actively encourage (even engage in) all four of
the above, there is little to stop the downward spiral.

Not sure when I developed it, but I currently hold the belief:
If a
Country is unwilling - or unable - to hold the rights for a non-citizen as they
do a citizen: The citizenry need to be extra-ordinarly vigilant as the rights
are fictitious and will likely disappear when those in Power see the citizenry
has relaxed sufficiently.

We went to war with a nation that had Secret Police,
Secret Kangaroo Courts, Secret Indictments, middle of
the night arrests, incarceration in secret with no access
to the outside, and jails outside general jurisdiction.
All done in the name of State Security. And the people
basically went along with it.
This was Nazi Germany with the Gestapo, concentration
camps and the black marias. Or the USSR with its GRU,
KGG, gulags, etc.
We now have replaced the Gestapo name with the likes of
three and four letter acronyms: TSA, NSA, Homeland Security, FISA, FISC,
Guantanamo, military courts etc.
Different names and acronyms for the same thing.
The present US Government is equating government and
administration with the "country or nation." Under this
notion, it has come to the point that the government does
not trust its citizens and has to protect itself against
"them."
As the government acts get more and more outrageous, it
expresses the fear via such things as "gun control." Gun
control having largely failed to gain traction with the
public, it has now resorted to ammunition control. If
you have not folled this, be aware that a lot of ammunition
is now very hard or impossible to get with long waiting
times. Just ask at any hardware store why they cannot
get simple rounds like 5.56, 7.62x39, 30-06, .308 or even
the lowly .22LR. Its getting to be unobtanium.
Once the citizens are disarmed, the laws will get more
paranoid and egregious. And more and more people will work
for the government Security forces to enforce and surveill
the ones that don't work for them.
We are actually well along the way on this process, in
case you hadn't noticed. Examples are everywhere.
