Thanks for the post!!! My guns are my friends and protectors.

Great!
The responses were mixed, and he asked those who said "no" to leave the class
because they were wasting his time.
His point was made.
Your quote attributed to Jefferson is most assuredly not his. Starting with a phony quote is kind of a mistake IMO.
25. The American Revolution would never have happened with gun control.
That’s what started the American Revolution.
The British went to Concord to disarm the American Subjects.
27. Remember...when seconds count, the police are only minutes away
Call for a cop and call for a pizza.
Guess who shows up first.
Some of us know that having a gun in the house is not always for the best.
Life long member of NRA. I don’t own a gun, but I want the right to have one if that is my desire.
As a person that suffers from extreme depression (with suicidal tendencies) and born with a temper, I don’t own a gun. However, I sleep with a large baseball bat under my bed. And with my temper … well, you get the picture.
Funny you should bring that up:
Britain HAD had gun control for quite some time by WWII, and as a result the populace was essentially unarmed.
Therefore ordinary American citizens shipped their own personal weapons to Britain to arm the people in case of the German invasion that most felt was impending.
Add my tagline...
Correct!!!!
How is it that no-one knows / remembers this?
Look what they have now with the current ban on firearms.
Many things that are "known" are simply not true.
Perhaps if you practiced a little self-control, or even got some professional help...
I don't know many with a shorter temper than me, but I've never shot at anyone except in self-defense.
I don’t think he wants a shrink reporting to the FBI and having his Second Amendment rights revoked.
Thank you for being a member.
You have the right to be armed or not as you choose
as does every American.
I can only hope you are at my back if the fit ever hits the shan.
Good hopes and best wishes.
