If all had guns, America would be feared

For 21 years, I defended this country and gave more than anyone should, but humbly came back and tried to survive on those who could care less what we veterans truly give, and many can never understand. Politics is ruining this country, and those in charge have no clue about those who are trying to destroy us. Maybe if they served in those countries and actually saw what happens, they could grasp the concept that people in those countries would rather see us all dead than live in peace.

Some want peace, but over 85 percent would rather have my head chopped off or crucify me for my beliefs. Do not believe me? Read the Koran. I have, and when it states death to all non-believers, homosexuals and women who do not honor their husbands, then I guess we should all just turn in our weapons like the Democrats want and surrender our lives.

If you are stupid enough to vote for the worthless criminal (if I did what she did, I would be in jail for the rest of my life), I have no sympathy for any of you because you will get what you deserve. Do I care for Trump? No, but at least I have a fighting chance with him. You have seen what people are without weapons to protect themselves: victims.

Once, this country was feared by our enemies and they would never invade because they thought there was a weapon in every house in America. Maybe if everyone that could legally carry actually carried a weapon on them at all times, we would have fewer victims.

When I grew up, I was taught about respecting weapons and their safety in elementary school and actually took a weapon to school so I could hunt after school to provide for my family. But now we are taught to fear weapons and law enforcement. I am older but will choose to fight for my freedoms if given the opportunity.
