14. It just keeps getting more insane.

Wed Jul 20, 2022, 01:18 PM

Jul 2022

If you think the Uvalde cops were afraid, imagine how many more people this new weapon will kill, as cops across the country refuse to confront mass murderers carrying these weapons.
We are at war with a insane, determined enemy, that wants to be armed like soldiers, and doesn't care how many people die, just as long as they have their guns.
For them, gun ownership is a sacred right. Gun deaths just validate their need to be armed to the teeth.

The insanity isn't just in the mass murderers, it's in the 10's of millions of gun-crazies out there who can never be satisfied no matter what weapon they own, or how many.
I fear for the future of my country as long as legislatures, both state and federal, and courts allow this to happen.

This new gun should NOT be in the hands of the public!
