Detroit and Chicago have some of the most restrictive gun control laws in the United States. Yet both of these cities have high crime and homicide rates. Criminals benefit from overly stringent gun control laws, because when citizens are not armed, committing crimes without immediate punishment becomes much easier. Gun control hurts Americans.

They put him in our charter documents as a security guard, to ensure that if everything else in our country goes to shit, we still have our guns to take it all back. They wanted the American people to come here for the American dream, to be safe and for freedom; and that's why the second amendment is the way it is
