DRGO-Gun Control is Bad Medicine :: 02/03/2020
Dr. Patrick Neustatter recently penned an op-ed for the Fredricksburg Star supporting typical “common sense” gun control legislation.

Michael Bloomberg: The Most Dangerous Presidential Candidate Ever :: 02/02/2020
With the horrible group of gun-hating and gun owner-hating politicians running for the Democrat presidential nomination, there’s no doubt the Second Amendment is in peril.
