There isn’t a simple answer to what freedom means to me. There are things that it is and there are things that it isn’t.
I have freedom of movement, but that doesn’t mean that I get to drive a Cadillac or take a cruise around the world if I can’t afford it.
I can believe or not believe what I want. That doesn’t give me the right to force people to believe as I do, or do as I want them to do.
I can own a firearm with limitations according to whatever local law and the Supreme Court is saying on a given day. I’m not in a regulated militia and don’t want to kill, so I avoid gun ownership. As I am writing this, fourteen people were killed with a gun or guns in a school in Texas. Revision—nineteen people.
I can support or vote for the candidate of my choice, but for several years I’ve had a choice between different losers, so it doesn’t do much for me.
