Again, we see an example of a citizen legally carrying a firearm using poor judgement and a lack of common sense (Sunday Review-Journal). On Friday, that citizen was shot dead with his open-carry gun. The killer grabbed the victim’s gun and shot him dead.

As an ardent Second Amendment supporter and NRA member, it disturbs me that an event as described above puts sane, law-abiding gun owners in a bad light. If a sane, law-abiding citizen wants to carry a firearm to protect self and family, such individuals should apply for a concealed carry permit.

If you open-carry a firearm, you invite trouble.

Trump officials claim they’re deporting the “worst of the worst.” If so, why not prove it? Bring them before judges and juries.

Trump thinks winning the election means doing whatever he wants. He and the GOP are purposely exacerbating this, like he always does.
