I can definitely relate to the ‘if you don’t know what the AR in AR-15 stands for’ ‘how can you have an opinion on guns?’ Got some of that from around here!
They’re weak, frightened, poorly educated angry ..men clinging to what feels like their last vestige of power - the power to kill on mass.. I’ve seen their smirk … as if ‘you’re only alive because I haven’t decided to pull the trigger’.. Sick, and dangerous ~
I grew up in very Northern AZ and over the years have known several people who shot people or were shot -- none were in defense and only one was intentional (an uncle decided he couldn't face chemo again).
Guns are a 'tool' with only one use -- to destroy things. Only cowards think guns are legitimate crutches in their lives.
