THX

An EXCELLENT shirt treatise on the 2ndA.

Here’s my position for what it’s worth:

There should be ABSOLUTELY NO debate about the Second Amendment.

(a) It is NOT about hunting, target practice/competitive shooting or protecting your home and family.

(b) It’s sole purpose was to guarantee to We the People a method of replacing the gubmint if and when exercise of the FIRST Amendment rights failed to resolve conflicts.

(c) Had gun registration been in place in 1776, the Brits would have confiscated them all, and today we’d all be speaking with British accents.

END OF DISCUSSION.

CAPTAIN JOHN PARKER (Commander, Lexington Militia Company) "Every man of you who is equipped, follow me..Stand your ground. Don't fire unless fired upon. But if they want to have a war, let it begin here." Lexington, MA, 19 April 1775, as British troops approached on their march to Concord to implement gun control (Mine Eyes Have Seen, Goldstein 1997 & Quotes for the Military Writer, U.S. Army Command Information Unit, Library of HQ TRADOC)

The first shots of the American revolution were fired over gun control. The Brits were coming to lexington to confiscate weapons, gun powder, and lead.
