@truthtalks One other thing to consider, the Democrats made schools gun free zones; fully understandiing that it would get some of our most precious assets (our children / our future), killed! They intended then, as they do now, to use these deaths, to disarm this country! There is a Historic Precedence for this same plan, from another Socialists Government. In the 1930s, the National Socialists Party in Germany followed the exact same plan, but they did Not have to deal with the Constitution, or the Bill of Rights! Their BLM equivalents were called Brown Shirts; and supplied the same divisive violence then, to break down the society for the same reasons. Once Germany was disarmed, the government killed everyone who opposed them. This is History, please look it up!
You remind me of My Daughter, she is an Artist, and now a Pharamacist. Your Mother is a friend from Steemit, she Loves you, and values you HIGHLY, and is quite proud of you! I like your artwork, it is a window into the soul. So, please forgive me, if I talk to you like you like you are my own Daughter; since you are kindred spirits.
In answer to your question on home defense; I keep an M14 (308 Nato) next to my bed. My Wife backs me up with a 357 Mag. An AR15 is much too weak for me to rely upon for my safety. That said, we must NEVER allow ANY firearm to be limited, or every firearm will, by illegal political means; become that firearm, and we will begin to see murder, from our own government, on a stunning scale. More people were killed, By their own governments in the last century, than in all the wars in that same century!
SO study the past (look at what the National Socialists did in 1930s Germany, the Socialists here are following the same game plan), and do NOT believe all you are told! THOSE Socialists also outlawed guns, to "Protect the children"...then they murdered Millions of those same children!
Our future is Kids like YOU who can study, THINK, and tell them NO!
What makes my heart cry about Fl, is that we had TWO armed Guards At that school! One refused to go in, to protect his worthless life. The second was inside, and HID in a janitor's closet, and allowed those precious children to be Murdered! BOTH were paid to stand in the gap, and both were Cowards; and that breaks my heart! Either one of those individuals, could have stopped this, with Minimal loss of life! All they had to do was take their worthless carcass in body armor, inside, and do their JOB, SMH!
Remember this over all else: Our future is Kids like YOU who can study, THINK, and tell them NO!
