The American Historical Rights Protection Act

Until very recently, price carrying a personal safety firearm was not a crime. Various government officials have been making it a crime, this in the name of stopping crime.

The fact of the matter is that the mere possession of a firearm, absent any directly criminal activity, is not, in and of itself, harmful or criminal, save for illegal laws criminalizing possession. There are no victims. No one is harmed. It is time to roll back the onerous restraints and not make criminals of people who harm no one, going about their business personally armed for their own protection.
