27. I am amazed

I posted this thread last Saturday.

The OP asked the basic question at the heart of the 2nd amendment debate and is simply and clearly stated, yet in the 4 days it has been posted it has not received a single response from a gun control proponent.

There has been nothing like "Another tool Nut - yup"; or "afraid to leave home without a couple of tools strapped on"; or...

People of all political persuasions all eat, drink, sleep, and have many more things in common than differences. The freedom to use tools is one of them.

Semper Fi,
