Moreover, the decline comes as more and more Americans own and carry firearms for self-defense.

And Democrats have shown their true colors. If given a opportunity, Democrats will confiscate all firearms. Forcibly if necessary. Thank you Pelosi.

Facts don’t matter to Democrats, only emotions do. You make a conservative mad by telling a lie. You make a Democrat mad by telling the truth.

“sheer number of firearms owned by law abiding citizens”

This is what is really eating Democrats lunch. They can’t assume the throne until they disarm the general population.
