When the public has guns there may be tragedies. However, without them there will be genocide. https://facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202035889845432&set=a.1253450423008.40182.1431983649&type=1&theater

The fact is, without the NRA you wouldn’t have any of those things and the fight isn’t just to win back more rights it’s to keep the ones we have. Nobody and no other group has lifted a finger but to complain. You’re welcome.
