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. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
