The gun grabbers have spent decades setting up gun free zones and anti-gun states across the country to use as straw men for a problem that doesn’t exist in those states that respect the right of the people to defend themselves.
It will never come out into the light during our lifetimes, but I can guarantee that at some point it will be learned that forces much higher up the chain than those of us down here in the trenches made the decision to use patsies in these gun-free bastions of supposed freedom and liberty to forward an agenda against the rest of us.
It only requires a tireless minority to inflict great harm against those of us who are willing to be self-sustaining and personally responsible for our well-being and that of our brethren.
“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of the citizen to bear arms is just one more safeguard against a tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.” - Hubert Humphrey(bitter clinger), 1960
“Gun bans don’t disarm criminals, gun bans attract them.”- Walter Mondale, U.S. Ambassador to Japan(bitter clinger), April 20, 1994
