When it becomes normal for folks to say or believe in the words “allow” or “permit” when it comes to the government’s “infringing” on the 2nd amendment .. it’s a damn shame!
The 2nd’s purpose is there, not only to protect the rest of the amendments, it is also there to protect us from a tyrannical government!
So .. when the tyrant “allows” what manner of self protection you may be “permitted” then you’ve already lost!
I was born in 1940. That is many years before my state became what it is. It has not always been this way. We could have moved but we live in a beautiful area where most people are armed and can and will defend themselves. We would rather stay here and protect what we have. If people had stayed here we would not be up the shiite creek with no paddle. But I also do not blame them for seeking greener pastures.
