If you truly believed Trump was a Nazi dictator bent on setting up camps, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be armed?

A Team Effort

Don’t Forget About Candidates in Local and State Elections! [More]

My editor at the magazine, Vincent DeNiro, has some thoughts about the crucial importance of “lesser” candidates. Hopefully, everyone here has consulted with their state gun rights groups and done their own due diligence.
