Yep, 94 posts later, that is exactly what I said on page 1.

Y'all are correct...As active as I am in Texas politics, I have not seen the same kind of fire in the majority of our elected officials in this state in the last few years...Their receptiveness to basic Second Amendment activism and proponents has been lackluster at best...We may still get a few things done, but there is still a lot of work to be done, corrected, clarified...

Some here might even say, I'll never be totally satisfied...And I would agree with those folks who work as hard, if not harder than I in that political arena...

Like I said in my last post...I believe the Apartment complex owners would rather deal with the negative press from a few murders, and other man acts, against their tenants, than actually side with law-abiding citizens who should be able to own posess such means to do that without any demonizing or threat to their lives, liberty and happiness...

Its like I have told people for years...

"What are you prepared to do about it, and what are you prepared to sacrifice to get it done!"

Those old white guys in wigs (back in the day) didn't just talk a bunch of stuff and go home after signing a documant declaring their independence...They went home after a few pints with their buddies, and made musket balls with their families...They knew a fight was on the day they declared their line in the sand...What are YOU willing to do for the cause???

We still have avenues to pursue to convince those we elect into office to get up off their duffs and fix thee anomalies...When we lose our voices, our votes, thats when "other" avenues open up...

I think we can fix it before that ever comes close to being an option...

I've been through a few of the pages in this discussion and one thing keep hitting me square between the eyes...

It is apparent that the landlord (owner) has the right to establish rules and any property possession conditions of its tenants under a lease agreement you have to sign and agree with to to live there...Regardless to Constitutional issues...

Now, that that pimple needing to be popped is settled...The answer is obvious...Apartment living is rapidly becomeing the new communes in our society, no matter how gussied up and fancy, crime free, amenities and socially ripe they appear to be...they are now a focis to the illegalisties and potential serious risk to personal freedoms and safety out there across the nation...

So, what is the solution...

Save your money, live frugally, git yer posterior out of debt, and move out as soonas you can to your own place, where YOU make the rules, and pursue life, happiness and liberty and all that neat stuff...

"But Steve, I can't...I have all these student loans, cable and cell phone bills, etc etc etc..."

Well, seems to me you need to reign in some exra expenses there bucko...(to which I can already hear the cries of, "You just don't understand Steve!!!)

The one underlying theme to this is apparently, and this is very important to understand, that the landlord (owner) would rather deal with the negative publicity of a tenant(s) being murdered, robbed, raped, pilaged and plundered, than deal with the "positive" publicity of the small minority community of pro-gun folks who might just be able to defend themselves from the aformentioned crimes on their properties...

So the choice is yours...I think we still have that freedom here in this country for now...Do things to get yourself NOT to be dependent upon others for your roof, gas, cars, food and other things, people other than yourself, can control...

Again, easier said than done...But hey...There has got to be a heck of a precentage in this country of 300 million people that can actually stand on their own, and not be subjected to this kind of _______ (government dependent) infrastructure, that way too many people are tied into these days...

I'm all for rejecting, and relegating through that rejection, the primary reason for all this intrusive in-your-face nonsense coming from those we elect into office...they need to be put in there place, and until a lot of people get together and stop enabling them to do this to us...

Hehehe, sure is nice to not have to worry about most of this stuff...And I would love to have plenty of company on my side of the fence...If I could wave my magic wand and change this all in one sweep...Hehehe, there are a few people who know me on this forum, would know I'd do it in a heartbeat...
