40. If you werent a coward, you wouldnt feel the need to own many of those guns

Maybe a DESIRE, but too many people feel a NEED. There’s a big difference.

Shootin’ shit is fun. Targets, cans in the desert, old cars. I’m not going to lie.

But if you feel like the only way you can protect yourself is with an AR 15? Either you’re a coward drastically overestimating the threats against you, or you’ve got problems way too big for an AR15 to solve.
