You are twice as likely to be killed by a hammer as by a rifle in the US, and 100 times as likely to be killed by an automobile driver – but the gun grabbers are going after rifles – for exactly the reasons why the Constitution says we should have them.

The Governor of Maryland said :
I ask you to ban the sale of military-style assault weapons in Maryland. I ask you to require a license for the purchase of all handguns – but not hunting rifles.
The only reason the US exists is because the people who signed the Declaration Of Independence were as well armed as their oppressors. Perhaps Democrats are dyslexic, transposing the words security and hunting.
The governor also said :
Climate disruption is real. Climate change is not an ideological issue any more than gravity is. It is physics, pure and simple.
No, it is dissonance pure and simple.
Is “Climate disruption” the new glow-bawl worming?
“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials.”

The well never runs dry on this one.
