Just in case you happen to read this and are afraid of guns: I have been carrying a semiautomatic high capacity firearm for 30 years everywhere I go and it has never compelled me to kill anyone, nor has any of the four models I possess, ever discharged unless I have commanded them to do so.

Guns are a tool.

If you shoot children, you are a tool.

If you think "taking away guns" will change anything, you are a tool.

If you think the police will protect you, just ask one, they will tell you to protect yourself - with a gun.
