The Supreme Court is going to *expand* the Second Amendment in June. They are going to do exactly what their corporate masters want them to do until the public decides to stop the wheels of commerce from turning. It is the only god to whom they are beholden.
Was this before or after you went through an extensive background check, 10 weeks of boot to teach you how to handle that rifle before you had to test your proficiency on a range, then several months of AIT, followed up by periodic weapon quals, and pre-deployment training?
