A Discussion of Constitutional Rights
We need to have an adult conversation about constitutional rights, erase the insidious emotions, and let's attempt to reason.

His new communist regime sent agents door to door to coerce citizens into turning over their firearms. If you think it could not happen here, recall the confiscation of thousands of home-defense firearms during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
