| Message | The AM Revolution is inclined to agree with the LIP: 'devolution' and arming citizens may touch on 'civil rights'... but they are. at best, grey areas in the civil rights debate. Allowing unregulated 'concealed carry' sounds like it infringes the need for safety of the average citizen... and making LAWs rockets available to the average Joe is taking the 'civil rights' argument to ridiculous extreme. |
