Militia, being necessary to the security of a free
State, the right of the people to keep and bear
Arms, shall not be infringed.

Why Gun Control is a Lost
Cause

appeal and mainstream media as their only
hope, going as far as sick means of staging
shootings.
True statistics on crime rates and laws dont
support gun control contrary to media
representation.
