You know, help speed it all up.


Just unhinged.
Calm down ard. There's no need for guns here. We're way past the wild west era.

The day we can resolve our differences without relying on lethal violence, is when i'll have more faith in the continuation of our democracy.c

I agree there's no need for guns at this point, but remember we are NOT a democracy. We are a Democratic Republic and there is a huge difference between the two....

A Democracy is majority rules and at 51% the majority can vote to remove your Rights, property or freedom.

A Republic has laws made by elected representatives and has protections against a basic majority removing your Rights, property or freedom.

See Article 5 of the Constitution....
