Or, better yet, stop in at the American Legion and make your statement. I know you won't, because that takes guts, and it is obvious by your comment, you have never had to rely on guts.

You and I are probably the same generation. I was born in 1947 - WWIi was over in 1945.
I was in the Army - Sgt E5 - in Vietnam as RA, not US. I got a Purple Heart but not from heroism, just being a bit too far exposed from carelessness. Tell me how OUR freedom in America was saved by the action of America in a civil war. Same for Grenada or Iraq.
You and your John Wayne (a non-veteran) gun totin' buddies have not saved any freedoms in America. I am a member and enjoy the American Legion for social functions and friendships. As I said, I am not against anyone owning a gun legally, but don't say it has saved my freedom in America.
