        I give my kids a hug Daily. A hug won’t save them from possibly being murdered because some asshat can legally acquire an assault weapon. 🖕🏻

        But that you don't love them enough to entertain giving up your guns! And asking for God's guidance - what more does He need to show you?!

        Fine and well, but this country needs to SERIOUSLY think if this is what those who wrote the 2nd Amendment had in mind. I don't think so.

        I always enjoy seeing a ad about pizza delivery while I am reading about 26 people being shot down in their church. Maybe give ads a rest.
