Guns and the Heart of Individual Liberty

In this country, it is perfectly legal to own and drive as many cars and trucks as you like.  If you can afford them, you can have a barn full of vehicles – expensive or cheap, big or small, fast or slow.  In fact, you may collect cars if you like, just because you like [...]
