Assuming you are joking, am speaking from a position of experience (am not a reader of any liberal tracts and very few so-called conservative ones)—our family.
Family has been in the South since before the War Between the States. We had extensive experience with Reconstruction, the Freedmen’s Bureaus making up the laws and confiscating property (including firearms), and the Union Army occupation, and theft of our property without law.
When speaking of “getting along” as regards firearms, it is no mystery to Southerners, that once property issues were resolved, people had to have firearms for self defense in the cities or to eat, in the country and self defense. And it has never been a big deal. Only a big deal for liberal white racists who forever are trying to run ALL of our lives,and are trying to re-write history to impose their will on Free men.
