Would be nice to think we could resort back to a policy of isolationism but we are too entrenched in the world trade and economy.....so military bases will be maintained to protect our interests....

Withdraw our military bases from around the world? lol
Maybe we should stop printing money too!

Here's my thing right now, I've got money, a great security system on my home, and a closet full of guns. I keep a pistol in my glove box, and if I have to go into a rough neighborhood, I may even put it in my pocket.
I'm also in a city where conceal/carry is prohibited... but it's nothing my lawyer can't get me out of; incase I need to protect myself.

I don't support open/carry-I just assume everyone has a gun in their pocket.
