Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life & Liberty Minute. Police are being defunded at eye-watering rates, leaving the residents of one city after another defenseless against criminals as crime and murder rates go into the stratosphere. What’s the answer? The answer is the Second Amendment, which guarantees to every American the right to own and carry arms in his own defense and the defense of his family. Texas this week became the 21st state to pass “Constitutional Carry” legislation, which means the only permit you need to carry a weapon for your own defense is the Constitution of the United States. Folks are buying handguns at the fastest rate ever, including 16 million in the first four months this year, which is up 30% over last year. Americans are realizing that if Joe Biden will not allow the cops to protect us, we’ll have to do it ourselves.
