Is "Firearm Life Plan" good for gun owners? :: 02/26/2022

We all get a little touchy about our guns, and for good reason. I mean, we’re constantly dealing with people who want to forcibly disarm us because of the actions of criminals, then we get laws that would allow the government to take our guns if we make someone a bit too uncomfortable. I mean, it’s not difficult to see why we might get a little touchy about it.

One Trap Second Amendment Supporters Should Avoid :: 02/24/2022

Philadelphia 1787/United States 2022 – -(AmmoLand.com)- Some Second Amendment supporters look to a constitutional convention as a means to restore our freedoms, and maybe even make the right to keep and bear arms untouchable.
