In a strange sort of way, the creeping tyranny of the past 15 years is causing more and more people to see the wisdom of the Founding Fathers and the Founding Documents.
I’m seeing people who themselves will probably never fire a rifle, much less purchase one, becoming strongly in favor of leaving the 2A alone.
Not insignificantly, Americans are paying attention to what’s happened to Europe, and they’re paying attention to history, namely, that governments that enslaved their people first disarmed them.

I heard a commercial on the radio for a place near Chicago, where I’m from, that sells a package for a handgun, lessons and practice. Next time I’m home, I’d like to do that. Handguns are probably not legal here, though. Or at least very restricted.
I often disagree with my husband on this. He has hunting rifles, but doesn’t like concealed carry. When there’s a shooting, I argue that a trained person with a concealed weapon could save lives.
I tell him, “Don’t you want our daughter to be able to protect herself”? He doesn’t really have a response for that.
Pistols were known as “the Great Equalizer” in the West for a reason.
