Statement | Firearm Regulation In The Wake Of The Las Vegas Shooting

Statement | Firearm Regulation In The Wake Of The Las Vegas Shooting

The Millennial Federalist’s ON THE ISSUES page has the following to say about guns and firearms: “The right to bear arms is the quintessential enshrined constitutional law that reflects the natural right to self-defense.
