Gun Ownership Not at Heart of Being American

Mike Felker would evidently prefer women like Tammy Bruce be disarmed and vulnerable.

If gun ownership isn't at the heart of being American, then how does this idjit expain the Minutemen, and the privately owned firearms that figured so significantly in our War for Independence?

Is that right Mr. Felker? Have some NEWS for you! Allow me to introduce you to Tenche Coxe, whom had this to say;
As the military forces which must occasionally be raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the next article (of amendment) in their right to keep and bear their private arms."
- Tench Coxe, Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789

The militia, who are in fact the effective part of the people at large, will render many troops quite unnecessary. They will form a powerful check upon the regular troops, and will generally be sufficient to over-awe them."

- Tench Coxe, Delegate to Continental Congress, Oct. 21, 1787

I contend, sir - and I use that term loosely, that not only is it at the HEART of being an American... BUT A DUTY!
Suggest you pull your head out and get some fresh air! What were you a veteran of...the Salvation Army?
WAKE UP AMERICA!
