Amendment Quote by Nicholas Antinozzi

“Gun owners beware; it is quite likely that you will be asked to voluntarily turn in your weapons during a national emergency. Failure to do so could well result in a search of your home and confiscation of said weapons. You will have to decide for yourself if this in your best interests.” quote by Nicholas Antinozzi
