“This holiday was made possible by citizens with guns”

Independence Day (July 4th) is a holiday that celebrates an armed insurrection against Great Britain. “This holiday was made possible by citizens with guns” is a saying that has been printed on many images.

“THIS HOLIDAY WAS MADE POSSIBLE BY CITIZENS WITH GUNS” (shown on an image) was posted on Twitter by The Rifleman on July 4, 2018. It’s not known who created this popular image.

“Enjoy your holiday provided to you by armed Americans” is a related saying.
