"Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used, and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible"
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D) Minn. "Know Your Lawmakers" Guns (magazine), February, 1960, p. 4.

When Wayne La Pierre made the statement in the hearings that the 2A was about protecting the people from government tyranny, it seemed to me that Senators of both Parties got all nervous and jerky. Lindsey Graham made a point to call him out. We have too many in Congress on both sides who see that kind of talk as a threat to their power..
So, did anyone ask the WH Idiot why they want to do all this stuff if it’s not to stop killing?
Today's DNC IS the Communist party.
