In recent months, we have seen an escalation in violence around the world—not the type of violence we traditionally expect, such as out-of-control regimes and dictatorships. This is a new type of violence: terror-inspiring attacks on our way of life. Suicide bombers, active shooters, mass murders and rioters have left us all feeling vulnerable and confused.
The escalation of these attacks has systematically stripped away our civil liberties. They are also paving the way for police actions, raids and increasing regulations on just about everything in the name of public safety. As a society, we have a duty to our republic to remain vigilant and aware so we keep ourselves safe and preserve our liberties.
