85. My feelings exactly.

Nov 2021

I have mixed feelings. I wish there far far fewer guns, not more - but if there must be guns, I don't think it's right that racist RW fascist nuts should be the only ones who have them. I'm not going to tell people of the groups they target the most that they shouldn't be able to defend themselves.

It's a rifle. It's a semiautomatic rifle. It's an assault weapon. It's not an assault rifle. Dial H For Hero Nov 2021 #76

Ok, your are right, in my opinion they are not carrying rifles defined as assault weapons bottomofthehill Nov 2021 #79
