Doesn't matter the second amendment was recently strengthened in its clarification as it was upheld by the Supreme Court.
They want YOU advocating that it is a "freedom thang" for runners to be able to sell to foreign enemies overseas and domestically to whomever for whatever purpose.
Don't focus so hard you let your brains run out on the ground.
I don't own a gun because I am afraid. I own a gun because I am not afraid. I will stand for myself, and will not depend on someone else for my, and mine's, protection.

It has nothing to do with the illegal sale of guns to foreign nations.

I'm not a big fan of stand your ground law. Not when I've seen some of cases of people being killed who didn't deserve to die.

Some people, and I'm not singling out anybody here, would rather wait for the police to finish their coffee and doughnut break than to present a lethal hazard to some mentally incapacitated psycho about to chop up the family into little pieces. Shoot first, reload, shoot again, ask questions later, is not what stand your ground means, and it is a good thing that most firearms owners are proficient in the use of the law.

And how many cases where someone's life was saved from someone who did deserve to die?? There's more than one side to this equation.

May I recommend a high capacity clip to eliminate most of the need for reloading....

What is it about so called "stand your ground" laws that you don't like?
Be careful here, I am well versed in these types of laws and if you do your usual make something up thats not really there, I'm going to call you on it.

We now have so-called "Stand Your Ground" law which gives citizens permission to shoot anyone they deem a "threat" to them. We don't want to fund law enforcement much, so we are increasingly demanding that citizens supply their own protection.

just my opinion.
Which is 1000 times better than depending on the government to "protect" you and your loved ones from those that want to do you harm.....

It's what makes America one of the greatest nations on planet Earth.....
