Not since shooting bullets out the playroom window to make a splash in the pond have I thought about owning a gun.

Only now as I think of ICE being able to enter my home without a warrant does the thought occur to me to purchase a gun.

In one sentence:

“I am now thinking about buying a gun to protect myself against the federal government.“

That. Right there. Is the reason for the second amendment.

This is about buying a gun.
