Just like the one at the battle of bunker hit. gabby giffords gun groups say this could be the next gun stop because theyre largely unregulated. liberals conceded that muzz muzzleloaders were protected by the second amendment. >> liberals like to pretend that what matter is the authors had in mind. they think of themselves as mind readers of the founding fathers. this is what they had in mind when they wrote the second amendment. a single shot firearm that takes a bit of work to reload. >> tucke...
