Seeing this too late to support it, but still wanted to comment @rhondak. Of all you have to say on this controversial topic, this stood out to me ...

"The Second Amendment was enacted not for American citizens to protect themselves from burglars, but so they could protect the nation from tyranny.

Including one in France ... 😉
