Firearms: The Most Controversial Tool
Firearms. When you want to talk about a contentious subject, with a lefty, that’s my go to topic. If that isn’t enough, it’s that pro-abortion topic. But since the left tries so hard to make the tool illegal, and I just love my collection of tools, that’s where I will argue until they want …
