RE:RE:RE:This is a crucial time for Glen Eagle.I disagree. The NRA has helped countless people learn how to use a fire arm safely. They are a grass-roots organization of 5 million people (including me) that values the second amendment.
I live on a five acre ranch that requires me to defend my family and livestock from natural predators.
But even if I didn't live on a ranch, I would still own a gun for protection.
I don't know what the response time is where you live, but for most people in the U.S. it can take up to one hour before a police officer shows up at your house. By that time, most intruders have already commited whatever crimes they set out to do.
Lastly, the USA was not "created on guns and violence". It was created on the desire to be free from oppression. That every man is created equal. And that every citizen has the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.
