Fair enough.
Let's see you walking down the street outside of the WH with your rifle in your hands.
@sneakypeteThere was a time when I could walk about Washington DC. Did so several times on school trips to the Smithsonian, Art Galleries, even to an old glorious theater there to see Fiddler on the Roof. In the earlier part of that era, my father (because I was not old enough) could fill out an order form and stick it in the mail with a check, and the fellow who delivered the parcel post would bring the gun he ordered, be it a rifle or shotgun or pistol.
These supposed rulers changed all that, by changing the rules, not because regular folks got shot but because some of their self-appointed (in many cases) group did.
Not long after they changed the rules, it really wasn't safe for a white boy to go to DC and wander about, especially at night.
Right now, except for seeing a few relatives out that way, I really have no desire to be within 100 miles of the White House, with a gun or otherwise.
And I would just as soon the Federal Government afford me the same consideration by not walking up and down my street with a rifle.
