[Homesteadingfamily] Re: better get 'em while they're (not) hot....

Ok...let's just recap these points and move on...**every US citizen
deserves the right to own firearms as granted in the 2nd amendment**we
want to insure that we all have the right to buy whatever kind or amount
of firearms for hunting, protection or collection**we want less
government intrusion in our lives on every level**it is a personal
choice to be armed or not and with what**no homestead should be without
basic firearms AND know how to clean and use them with proficiency**we
all are entitled to our own opinion about all of the above
I don't think anyone here meant any harm nor were we judging anyone else
for their opinion....just a friendly discussion with varying ideas. Each
one of us will have to choose and decide what is right for our own
personal situations.So, Sarah, please be at peace with your decision and
I hope you got the answer to your question...I sure wasn't poking at
you! It is simply a matter of free choice..and that matter is being
taken away from us every single day in many areas of our lives and this
is just one more area that we don't want to lose control of! ~deb
