This man is an idiot. He likens the lockdown in Boston to a "military style occupation."

For those of you who weren't locked down, which includes this idiot, we were not forced to stay indoors. If you follow my Facebook page, you no doubt saw my pictures taken from outside my front door.

The lockdown was more of a request that everyone stay inside.

We weren't being forced at gunpoint to get back into our houses. When anyone did encounter law enforcement, they were simply asked to go back inside. Neither did we have any of our other rights taken away, i.e. we weren't told we couldn't vote, or what religion we were supposed to be.

I think what makes me angriest of all, is that he says "we have been conditioned to believe that the job of the government is to keep us safe, but in reality the job of the government is to protect our liberties."

There are so many things wrong with this statement, but suffice to say if you want to make this argument, then you are not allowed to claim that the 2nd Amendment and the right to own a gun is so that individual citizens defend their liberties. I am sorry, sir, but you cannot. It is a poorly reasoned argument.
