They race down an alley behind the house where they find a police officer fighting for his weapon and his life.

Current and former military trained folks are our greatest assets. Willingness to do what most are not willing to do.

Sad that the same government is looking for any excuse to terminate their 2A rights once they’re home.

You answer yes to if you’re stressed out, they take away that soldiers’ gun rights. Known active muslim nutjob major, nope, he can have one until he blows 13 people away on a base where they can’t be armed.

What a screwed up place we are. Can’t wait for God to come back and get rid of all this manmade arbitrary bullsh1t “law” we all have to suffer under.

Willingness to do what most are not willing to do........

And the brave get knocked out of their vote wherever and whenever possible while serving overseas. God bless this trio.

Ha! I liked that.
