Again.....read the Constitution.Guns have no place in American politics.Shows how little you know the ConstitutionGuns do not belong in American politics.As I have said, we have holidays to honor our armed forces. We have Memorial Day to honor the sacrifices. We have Veterans Day to honor the service. We hold ticker tape parades to,welcome heros back home. Every June New York Ci y celebrates Fleet Week. When have Americans failed to show their respect, admiration and empathy to the military?Independence Day is the direct result of men who refused to give up their guns and pay their taxes. They were regular guys who shot the people, using military-grade weapons, who were trying to take away their guns and their money.
Something tells me that part of history you'd like to pretend didn't happen.
And the way you pepper references to guns in your post, locked and loaded with a loaded question at the end, shows you don't mind politicizing celebrations on the 4th.
As an American, I find it worthwhile to celebrate the concept of America, the contract drawn in our names to govern, legislate and edjudicate without the direct force of gunfire. Guns have no place in American governance. Ask the Irish how that works put.
Be as patriotic as a free person would be. But don't rub your politics in my face, I won't rub mine in yours.
That's revisionist history, we won our freedom by guns
Look up the second amendment.
That is not to say guns aren't political, nor are they ignored in the constitution.
But they do not belong as part of the political process. They don't belong in American politics.
