I've lived all my life with men who like their guns and not once have I heard them say they should use it to shoot someone.
That's talk is out of bounds.

Wonder how well that would go over. I'm going to carry this around in case I see anyone wearing a MAGA hat.

I am going to carry this around in case I see any Fox New reporters.
