Protect our Second Amendment!
The government should stop trying to pass stricter gun control laws.

Necessary being the keyword there. A gun can really come in handy to a one-hundred and twenty pound woman if threatened by a two-hundred and fifty pound rapist, and if the government takes that right away what chance does that woman have to live a normal
