40 years ago I hunted ducks and doves.

48. Ah

but you have not left guns behind, you have simply put them into the hands of others for your security. Those guns are there for your protection, you as a U.S citizen have put them there. Right in the hands of those men in blue and black. That blue that we've been railing on and demanding that they stop with their authority.

Now I ask you, if this should ever escalate (like nearly everything like this does) are you simply going to stand there and let yourself become a victim? Now I don't not mind if your simply answer "yes" as we've all got our beliefs and rights to make that decision.

Now the above is just a thought for consideration I certainly am not a "humper" but I likewise was raised country boy taking game in rural America growing up. I later became a combat soldier and lived with a weapon and knew that this was my last line of defense from another with a similar weapon. I swore an oath to uphold those rights, those rights were never understood by me until I swore and oath to uphold those rights and understand what those rights mean.

There are millions across this land that will not give up their rights. Rights are not to be controlled by government. Rights are to be controlled by the people in protection from any form of government.

I will not simply relinquish right to own a firearm on Monday to simply give up my right to free speech on Friday.

Also, do not forget where you came from and why you get to live in your security of today, as those guns forged this society and they are still out there today in many lands across this world blowing the hell out of shit for our "supposed safety".

Again, I do not like what has transpired with these weapons and the killings. But to make any attempt to remove or heavily restrict these is to challenge millions of Americans who only own guns simply for this reason, to protect their right to defend against the men in blue and black when they attempt to take away any of our rights that were never there in the first place for them to "give to us". Our government does not "issue" us "rights", they are OUR RIGHTS and can not be taken away from any form of government...period.

You think you have "grown up", I say you have become complacent and with this we move ever and ever closer to tyranny. We are out there blowing the hell out of the earth and not in our names, none of the people voted for this shit. At what point do they not represent us anymore?

Yes they are slaying young African-American men in the streets. They are slaying brown-skinned people all over this world with the "gun". Will you care when it hits the suburbs?
