If you choose to carry without a suitable holster, whom do you most closely resemble? �Nuff said." |

Here's what happens when hunters and marksmen won't step up to the plate.
Ask neighbors and friends about this. Discuss the real meaning of the 2nd Amendment. Dictatorships that exist today illustrate the foundational reasoning for the inclusion of the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights.

The necessity of the times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection, deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance. Let us remember that `if we suffer tamely a lawless attack upon our liberty, we encourage it, and involve others in our doom.' It is a very serious consideration...that millions yet unborn may be the miserable sharers of the event." --Samuel Adams, speech in Boston, 1771 |
