What You Can't Do as a Gun Owner

Be a gigantic piece of shit. That's what you can't do as a gun owner. We've seen it on the news from every corner of the country.

You can't give those who would strip us of our rights more ammunition to assert things about the majority of us that just aren't true. Be ever vigilant, be ever
