Louisville Mass Shooting Demonstrates importance of Constitutional-Carry Laws to Keep People Protected
A tragic shooting took place in Old National Bank in Louisville, Kentucky, with five dead and 8 wounded. Liberal media pundits are now crying out for more gun control. But what if rather than grabbing other people’s guns, we were to grab guns to protect ourselves, families and neighbors?
Think about it. There are more than 100 million firearms owned by private citizens today, and rarely do we hear of law-abiding citizens going around killing people.
Our guest today says what we need is a different kind of gun control. We need to own and carry guns and be well trained in their usage to maintain proper gun control. Control the gun and aim it and fire if necessary to protect yourself and others. Welcome _______ (name the 2nd Amendment Foundation speaker) to the program.
