I know a gal who’s afraid of guns so she purchased a wooden knife block that sits on her counter next to the kitchen door..she’s also placed knifes throughout her house in flower pots, etc.

I really felt bad for her as she’s probably close to 80 and said this is the first time in her life she’s been afraid.

Truly terrible that anyone needs to be afraid on their own home. One of the amazing things about firearms is how much of an equalizer they can be. An woman close to 80 is no match for one or two young men looking to break in and hurt her or steal her possessions. But put a gun in her hand and she can hold her own.

“Minnesota has an additional problem. Somalians.”

And, American blacks there do NOT like the truly black, 3rd world Somalis, nor their growing numbers in the Twin Cities. Not at all.

But, American blacks do like that muzzies hate whitey, too.

I move two and three hundred pound rocks around my yard dragging them on a tarp attached to the back of my riding mover.

The store where I work has been doing over 300 guns a day every day for the last two or three weeks.
We’re out of ammo.

In the earlier debates, Biden glared into the camera to speak directly to the National Rifle Association, saying that he will fight the organization and the gun manufacturers if elected.

Gun ownership is an individual constitutional right under the Second Amendment. A ‘constitutional right’ cannot be reduced or changed by either executive order or legislation.....But like other constitutional rights such as the freedom of speech, legally imposed limits cannot deny the right itself but only place reasonable limits on its use. Thus, it ‘may be possible’ to limit the size of ammunition magazines or such devices.

I fear when Trumps gets re-elected the Democrats will start a shooting war.

I think it’s almost an ironclad guarantee.
