Hell no! It’s unconstitutional! I have a responsibility to never go along with this charade. What is about the Second Amendment, never being infringed, that some people just can’t understand?

If I want any weapon to defend myself against an out of control tyrannical Government, trying to subverse me into slavery, I will have any weapon, ammunition and protection, that my money can buy! Period!

The remedy proposed by our founding fathers was divinely written into the Constitution of The United States!

The first and second amendments of the Bill of Rights, are the law of the land and no other law(s) shall supersede them!

I have my faith in the Good Lord and one hundred million plus people, who feel the same way.

This minority will never rule, the rest of us. Never!

@Oster1 I suggest you read Justice Scalia's opinion on the Second Amendment from the Heller v. D.C. decision--the first that opined that individuals had a right to gun ownership. Writing for the majority, he severely disagrees with your all-encompassing position on gun ownership. Even he knew it wasn't absolute and was never intended to be.

As far as minority rule, you are in a clear minority in the US, and will always be. I agree that we can't allow the minority to rule the nation, or we end up having a terrible administration like we did under Trump.
