awesome, thank you!

Superb. Logic, reason, facts. The 2nd Amendment is merely the written word of a right that exists whether it is written or not. The right just IS. It is because we are. I have a right, fundamental right to self defense and the ownership of an AR15. No human can say otherwise.

Damn, wish I'd caught this in time to resteem it!

Good to know that there are still people in the world who are able to defend themselves.

great stuff man and I see you all around taking this fight to the comments. Well done with strong arguments man!

Thanks, arguing about gun control is one of my favorite things to argue about.

What color is that map turning kids?
