I’m old enough to remember those wonderful old guns. Just right for plinking as well as rabbits,squirrels and bull frogs.
What this law said is that New Yorkers live in a totalitarian state, have a dictator for governor and have lost all formerly guaranteed constitutional rights and freedoms.
My dad and grandfather began teaching me about the Constitution and our nation’s founding principles when I was six years old.
I was fascinated by it and very appreciative of the rights we enjoy.
Then I had a second grade teacher who was a wonderful and brilliant lady.
She spent months going through the Bill of Rights, and sent a great deal of time talking about the importance and significance of the Second Amendment and an armed populace.
She discussed how we were so unique in that our founders wanted the government to fear us, not the other way around.
I owe a lot to my family and that public school teacher forthe early development of my political ideology.
I was of course raised in a Christian home too, and the values I was raised with are roots that took hold early and survived the trials of college and early adulthood.
My point is that I agree with you. Far too many people don’t have a clue what this country was founded on or why they should even care.
Most politicians don’t want people to know either, which is why kids are not taught these things anymore in public schools.
