The right to keep and bear arms is fundamental to America. So is a right and duty to dissent, to question, and to investigate your government. Blindly agreeing that 2+2=5 because your party says it is so is not. Thinkers are citizens. Blind believers are tools.

I have discovered a new author ‘new’ to me anyway. Claire Wolfe is her name and I have ordered her book ‘Freedom Outlaw's Handbook’. I'm sure it going to be great.
