Michael Moore Tries to Rescue Us From Guns

July 16, 2022 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

The gun control debate has been raging lately, and now filmmaker Michael Moore has arrived to save the day with his proposal to repeal and replace the 2nd Amendment.

That's tempered by the fact that it is also very stupid.Join me in a whirlwind tour:The inalienable right of a free people to be kept safe … [Read more...] about Michael Moore Tries to Rescue Us From Guns

If Only the Paperwork
