When it is suggested by one of the two national parties to develop “Fusion Zones”, one must take a step back, look down the road and ask what the possible outcomes are and who benefits from this information, then combined that with disarming, or severely limiting the access to arms, and the populace is neutered.
Pushing this a step further; most of us, as has been stated all signed on the dotted line “To protect and defend”….when faced with this situation, with those currently in a position of power, that by their very place states that they are in fact fulfilling that role and we see as not to be true….what then?

While not exactly proposing a "wait and see" approach - I do think political action, education, spreading information to those who are ill- or mis-informed, and being vocal in opposition to such things as "fusion zones" and the socialization of areas of our society that a few short years ago few would have predicted would be socialized - I fail to see other actions that would be appropriate at this time.
Rhetorically, what more can we do other than those things I listed above - coupled with my "preparation" admonition? We are less than two years away from mid-year Congressional elections. The Democrats do not have the much-needed 60 votes in the Senate. Even with "railroading" by Pelosi, et al - how much can they accomplish in that time that cannot be undone IF there is a significant reaction? Perhaps I have more faith in the average American. Perhaps I am "Pollyanna-ish" in my approach. I still say, "We'll see."
However, that does not mean I don't prepare for eventualities that I do not think are likely to come to pass. I do. I have since prior to the election of Jimmy Carter.
This is a great topic for discussion...
