Exactly. Liberty is the freedom to make one's own decisions. Patriotism is the influence of belonging to a nation that influences those decisions. If you cede control to a government, and don't give a damn about your country, you cannot have liberty. Look to the schools that are destroying the next generation's patriotism by making the United States appear as if it was a nation stolen from native Americans and built on the back of slaves. Unless that mechanism can be changed, there is no hope for the America we grew up with to survive. It will take more than repeal of the NFA, but real Americans taking control of the schools and the media.
