Sad Day, Bad Omen - Gun-Grabbers Will Chirp

Seems like the best day possible for clarity on arms in America. Skip over the matters of protection and hunting. Those things are obviously protected in the 1791 establishment of the 2nd of the Ten Amendments to The US Constitution known as The Bill Of Rights.
