RE: The History Of Gun Ownership
I think people are starting to get it. An armed society is a polite one.
The D.C gun banbeing overturned is a monumental example. There is no historty of gun bans doing any good anywhere in the world. Crime goes up when citizens are unable to defend themselves, this is proven. |
