text: Frankly, I strongly support the right of Americans to own guns--even automatic weapons.  The idea is to allow the citizenry to be able to defend itself against a rogue government.  Trump's administration has its toe on the line of going rogue.  During the campaign, two Trump supporters approached a Democratic candidate's campaign headquarters in Albermarle, VA and let the staffers see that they were wearing glock pistols on their hips.  The two Trump supporters then stood outside the Democratic candidate's office all day with their arms crossed at their waists and glocks quite apparent on their hips.  Albermarle County, VA has an open-carry law. These are the sorts who would get excited about joining a Brown Shirt sort of para-military group, such as Hitler organized to intimidate his opponents.  BTW,  I'm a Christian as well as an American and a Canadian.  I don't "tote" a gun and neither did most of the other Christians I knew in the States.
