Just wondering; How many of the world's dictatorships allow civilian citizens to possess a firearm? I'm guessing near zero. The non-rich right-wingers should ponder that for a while. At least the ones that are capable of thinking for themselves. After Bush, Clinton, Bush W, Obama, trump(pre project2024) and Biden....still have your guns, don't chya?. Just so you know, I don't hunt but I have no problem with people who do. But that privilege might disappear too.

At least they are supporters until their gubmint bennies are curtailed.
