• National Gun of the USA

    Hello Everybody,

    We love our guns.
    More than any other people in he whole world, we love our guns.
    That is what Francis Scott Key meant in the last line of what was
    to become our national anthem - "in the land of the free and home
    of the brave?"

    Of course, with so many to choose from, we do have a favorite.
    A point-and-shoot classic, no training required. So easy to use,
    even a kid could use it and be an instantaneous marksman.

    In one of his first legislative acts as a new member of Congress, Rep.
    George Santos has backed a bill to make an AR-15 style rifle – a weapon
    used in some of the deadliest mass shootings of the past decade – the “National Gun of the United States.”

    Santos co-sponsored the bill, along with prime sponsor Alabama Congress
    member Barry Moore and two other Republican colleagues: Rep. Andrew
    Clyde, a gun store owner from Georgia; and Rep. Lauren Boebert of
    Colorado, who ran a gun-themed restaurant called Shooters Grill.

    Rep. Moore unveiled the legislation this week saying, “any government
    that would take away one right would take away them all,” AL.com
    reported.

    A spokesperson for Santos’ congressional office didn’t return a request
    for comment immediately.

    Does any other country have a national gun? Japan prefers swords, so
    they are excused. And we all know what they do with them.

    For Life,
    Lee
