Amer’s essay said: How do we end gun violence? We should do it shoulder by shoulder, arm in arm, marching forward. We should do it without violence but do it with peace to show our community and our nation that we are not going to take it anymore.

Not one of my guns nor any of my friends guns have an evil soul that would take a life like Amer's. Evil is in the heart of the person pulling the trigger. The
@NRA, nor any of the other 2A rights groups, is not pulling the trigger. This wagon is full of manure. Time to get off. - 1 more reply
