Our Country's Safety

In the USA a lot of people drive, and we have the freedom to bear arms if we are law abiding citizens. Some who would want to attack us here in the US realize we have weapons and vehicles and freedom to use to defend ourselves. This scares them. Many people in the world do not know how to drive and much less have access to their own vehicle. (I know this on a personal level from friends from Korea and Russia who say public transportation is the norm. When they get here, they are scared to drive and have a big learning curve. Also, some nations have a lot of people who have no change to spare much less to buy a car.)
I say this to underscore the wisdom of keeping our rights to responsibly bear arms and keeping our own means of transportation. I would like it more eco-friendly, but I'll take the freedom and power of having my personal vehicle and appreciate it and be thankful. God willing it will stay that way.
