Your approval not necessary

I’ve lived in Oklahoma County most of my life and my family has legally owned many firearms purchased from licensed dealers and individuals. My Second Amendment rights were not granted by any politician. Our rights were “endowed” by our creator. I don’t need any person’s approval to own any legal weapon I choose, excepting “fully automatic” weapons or “machine guns,” which require an expensive license. Living in a rural area without adequate police patrols, I must defend my family and my property, as any intelligent person should.
