There was a charity formed in Columbus Ohio at one point called “Arm the Homeless.” They were to take donations and use those donations to distribute free handguns to homeless people and others who couldn’t afford to buy a gun. It ended up being a hoax of course.

They bring up a good point though. You have the right to a defense attorney if you are accused of a crime. Since it is a basic Constitutional right, the government must provide an attorney if you can’t afford one. Since owning a gun is a basic Constitutional right, the government should be required to provide firearms to those who are too poor to afford to purchase their own.

And since the Constitution applies to illegal immigrants when they are here, should they be provided with firearms too? :shudder:

I think you are right HT, this position should be rethought.
