How does a government own your right to defend yourself? I believe any man or woman that is not incarcerated has a god given right to protect themself and family. If someone is not law-abiding, why are they allowed to be free?

our right to defend ourselves is an inalienable right- a right given by God- The gov at best can only CONFIRM that we already have that right- However they have taken it upon themselves to severely restrict that right- with a staggering 20,000+ Federal and state laws about guns- Man feels he is more judicially powerful than God i guess-

This also applies to attacks not involving weapons.

Democrat run cities tend to prosecute you if you were first assaulted and then defended yourself with your bare hands.

This isn’t up for debate. It never was.

We definitely need an overall Free To Defend law, allowing defense of self, family, property, business.

I will try to avoid conflict if at all possible. I will flee if wise or stand my ground if not wise to flee. If I must stand my ground I will use ever ability I have to kill you. I am old and can not defeat a young thug in physical battle. I am a shooter since my youth and very adept. I will put three 40 caliber slugs center of mass if you are a deadly threat to me. I carry.

It is wise not wise to screw with old men. We can not fight you but many of us know how to kill you.

The lies we have been told over the years...by the democrats.
Promises made by democrats Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler in 1962...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.

1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).

1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!

1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!

1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America (ABC) screams...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, they made a grab for the rifles that is still going on today.
