They are speaking out In favor of no controlls and no restrictions.

My hobby is aviation. There's a constant effort in the aviation community to make it safer.

I like to drive my car. I pay insurance in case someone gets injured by my car.

I'm not hating on gun owners. I'm hating on people trying to stop civilized laws being passed to reduce gun violence. And on people making fun of nongun people for not knowing a clip from a magazine or an automatic from a semi. Some of us don't want to become experts at this. We just want progress to be made toward making America less of a weekly slaughterhouse.
