Have You Seen 'Real' Gun Control? :: 12/04/2019
I watched them on the news. I saw rich politicians with security details tell me to give up my money and my guns.

Can the Federal Government Ban Anything? :: 12/03/2019
Even though it is true that the government currently bans all kinds of things, I am asking a serious question. Let me expand and clarify it.
