Has your relationship with the Second Amendment and gun rights or control changed during or because of the coronavirus pandemic?
Live Mic host Lee Lonsberry offers his opinion on the subject and wants to know what insights listeners have to share.
Nearly 2.6 million firearms were sold in March, according to Small Arms Analytics and Forecasting, a consulting firm that tracks the firearms market. March was the busiest month ever for gun sales, even as businesses were ordered shut down in some states. |

| YES, IT HAS RE-ENFORCED MY THINKING OF HOW IMPORTANT THE 2ND ADMEND IS TO ME THAT IT ENABLES ME THE MEANS TO PROTECT MY FAMILY AND MYSELF KNOWING THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS UNABLE TO PROTECT US. I WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY PROTECT US WITH FIREARMS AGAINST ALL ILLEGAL ACTIVITY DIRECTED AGAINST US. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
