but whose beliefs are they imposing?

certainly not christ's or any who understand his teaching.

the founders? hard to pin down, but the only safe amendment to the constitution seems to be the third , but is "quartering" ice agents really something trump wouldn't do?

the nra? prettie was a legal carrier.

trump's? his only real belief is that all property is his and everyone must obey him.

so we are left with some weird stew of john birch and megachurch that amounts to "comply and obey "
