Are you willing to give up security checks at the airport as this infringes on our the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution to feel safe in airplanes?



Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution:

Actually, the courts held that it DOES NOT violate our constitutional rights.

The same freedoms that the NRA said would be lost by universal background checks.

Excellent question! I am asking the same question.

That's why NRA Members and the nation's 100 million firearms owners will stand in solidarity and fight against these misguided and diabolical proposals that have nothing whatsoever to do with curbing criminal violence but everything to do with stripping us of our guaranteed civil rights and our freedom.
