Is America on the Verge of the Second Revolutionary War?
Guest Commentator
The enemy is not the British but Putin-admirer Trump and his MAGA supporters who have brought America to its current stage of great civic unrest, many of whom are greedy, racist Americans who care only for how much money they can make at the expense of other American citizens and those throughout the world who support us.

Regarding the 2008 District of Columbia v Heller case, which supporters believe gives them an unlimited right to bear any arms they want, the 5-4 decision had its limits: the majority was talking about owning a gun for self defense, and then stated firmly that there were certain types of guns that were not appropriate for civilian gun owners to own, without specifying what they were. It also clearly stated that the right to bear arms is not unlimited and that guns and gun ownership would continue to be regulated. For a newly 18-year-old boy to buy an AR-15 on his birthday, 375 rounds of ammunition the next day, and a second assault weapon the third day he was 18, and that he could do all this without any regulation, was not what the Supremes intended in the Heller decision.
