GUNS: All about freedom

It’s all fine and dandy to “predict” the aftermath of an earthquake, or tsunami. But the fact of the matter is we, as Americans are far more likely going to HAVE to deal with an assault on our freedom from “homegrown” terrorists. What happened in Orlando is and was horrific, but I assure all of you, it’s only the beginning.

An “assault weapons ban” will only ensure that we as free Americans will not be able to protect ourselves. The real weapon is NOT a gun, but it is the mind and heart of the individual that is motivated to the extreme. No gun is used in an abortion. No gun is used in lobbying for civil rights for LGBTs’ rights. A gun is simply a tool. It is the PEOPLE who USE the “tools” that are and shall be held responsible, and accountable for THEIR OWN ACTIONS!

Yes, I agree that there are some existing guns that should not be available for civilian usage, but as far as I can see, mortars, grenades and IEDs are still illegal. As for Ar-15s and other “military designed weapons,” WE THE PEOPLE will need any and ALL weapons at our disposal to keep our country FREE from ALL tyranny, foreign and domestic.

I took an oath, did you?
