Hmmm he would've credited God.... The same God that's referenced in the pledge of allegiance and the declaration of independence? How taboo and appalling for someone to think of doing such a thing....

Point me to the safe and secure place you are referring to... It does not exist. Our nation is not safe and secure, Chicago has strict gun laws and the violent crime is one of the highest in the nation. The border is open allowing criminals and drugs to flow freely. Nations that have given up their firearms are at the mercy of their government to make "sound decisions" for their citizens. Regardless of your political views you can at least acknowledge that there are two very divided opinions on how the country should be run, should one side be at the complete mercy of the other? What sets America apart is the will of it's people, disarming the citizens strips then of their god given right to defend themselves (remember "life, liberty, pursuit of happiness"). The strength behind the will of the people is their ability to defend their freedoms. I shouldn't have to worry about my kids being indoctrinated in their school, I shouldn't have to worry about my kids being forced to be injected with a vaccine that poses a risk to their health.... And yet here we are.... Maybe we "shouldn't need guns", but nothing has indicated that is a reasonable world view.

Lay them down or get put down.... This sounds significantly more aggressive than literally anything I've ever heard a gun owner say. I'm really not sure why you think gun owners are targeting anyone from the LGBTQ community. Maybe I missed it but haven't read anything about any specific incidents regarding this. Every gun owner I know really just wants to be left alone and avoid having to ever need to use their firearm for self defense. I find it interesting you want to provoke and take the fight to people who are simply minding their business and exercising their right....
