Where else are the rule of law, free speech, private property rights, and the right to keep and bear arms guarded by a constitution that has endured for over 200 years?
What other country has created so much prosperity and opportunity for so many people?
Where else can a non-citizen legally carry a handgun to enable him to effectively protect himself and his loved ones?
