It's not about criminals or their crimes like they claim. It never was. It's about ultimate power. It's about unlimited political power and nothing more. To the power hungry politicians, the vets are the most dangerous. They'll fight back to protect this country, because they've already done it once before.
ANY politician who remotely discusses making it harder for law abiding citizens to protect themselves is NOT working in the peoples best interest. He/she is working in their own power hungry SELF interest. If they were doing it to protect us, they'd suggest everyone be armed, because a criminal or rouge element wouldn't dare take a chance against an armed citizen. There would be "a weapon behind every blade of grass."
As a life-long resident of West Virginia color me shocked....NOT. I have always been embarrassed by the politics in WV.
