Has your relationship with the Second Amendment and gun rights or control changed during or because of the coronavirus pandemic?
Live Mic host Lee Lonsberry offers his opinion on the subject and wants to know what insights listeners have to share.
Nearly 2.6 million firearms were sold in March, according to Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting, a consulting firm that tracks the firearms market. March was the busiest month ever for gun sales, even as businesses were ordered shut down in some states. |

YES, IT HAS RE-ENFORCED MY THINKING OF HOW IMPORTANT THE 2ND ADMEND IS TO ME THAT IT ENABLES ME THE MEANS TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF KNOWING THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS UNABLE TO PROTECT US. I WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY PROTECT US WITH FIREARMS AGAINST ALL ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DIRECTED AGAINST US. |

TO REMEMBER |
After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
