I really just don't understand the mindset that everyone has the right to enjoy owning an AR-15... but not the right to go out in public and and shop, go to school or work and feel safe. I have cousins in Texas and California and I pray for their safety and that US citizens can bring in gun control.
I hear you. The ridiculous augments for weapons of mass killings floor me. Nobody is trying to stop hunters but you can’t use AR-15s to hunt. I’ve often thought if I had the money I’d move to a different country. I don’t recognize this America any more.
