Rest in peace, Otis McDonald...

Posted by David Hardy · 4 April 2014 06:19 PM

Otis

Here's his memorial Facebook page. A good man, and a moment in human history. As I recall, about half of Americans own guns; isn't often that an individual can pass on and have 150,000,000 people, and the generations who succeed those, in their debt.

A rare citizen who would not back down when his rights were denied by an overreaching government. I hope that the rest of Americans will learn to follow his example
