Open carry makes for better neighbors. yet, grandma's purse carried a small pistol. hence the power of the purse. 1Reply Mike, Norwalk 10/16/25 The "right" is: to keep and bear arms PERIOD No written ideology of carnal man can lawfully usurp or limit that right. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 10/16/25 This quote, is the stance of a criminal citizenry. The educated citizen has all their investment in the sanctity of life and the forces of nature to preserve. Those bearing arms question nothing, the educated question everything. Reply Fredrick William Sillik, Anytown 10/17/25 We should not prepare ourselves to be violent savages, but prepare ourselves to be nonviolent human beings. Seeking nonviolent methods and practices is the course towards human understanding and appropriateness. SaveOk2 SaveOk2 View CommentsClick to view or comment.
