I watched a video on cheap handguns, and the comments were just out of control.
The topic of high point pistols came up, and one person was adamant that they were so dangerous to the owners that some states have outright banned them for carry.
I just don't understand the mindset that it is their duty to spread falsehoods in their quest to bash a brand of weapon. When I looked up what he was referring to, it was really the Illinois melting point law from the 1960s which everyone knew was an attempt to restrict the rights of all people to defend themselves, removing inexpensive options from their gun stores in a bad effort to curb shootings in Chicago.
Hi point pistols were sold in Illinois gun stores right up until 2017, so there are plenty of them still in the state, they just can't sell them over the counter anymore.
I look at it this way, the second amendment applies to all law abiding citizens, and we should defend that at all cost. It's not my place to tell someone else how to spend their hard earned money.
While I don't personally want to own or carry a high point, I will certainly defend that right, and it's up to the individual to decide if that is for them or not.
