With the invasion by the Russian military, Ukrainian men, women, and children have taken up arms in defense of their loved ones, homes, and country. The American Left, ranging from the radical (Occupy Democrats) to the establishment (Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer), is praising them.
Ironically, these Democrats actively seek to deny Americans this same right of self-defense by continuously attacking the Second Amendment.

This is remarkably similar to the thinking of America’s founders, who wisely enshrined our rights in the Constitution, declaring, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
