        Estimated? So when you don’t even know how many guns you own...that might be a problem. I don’t know how many comics I own. If I loose track of one....someone might not die.

        If she had 75 cats, you'd call her crazy, but owning that many guns is somehow okay?

        The old people in power are pretty afraid of this new generation. Their scare tactics don't work on the educated, and that's all they've got to fight with!

        What, like, the kids are bored and directionless so they spend their time doing anti gun violence activism?

        It's deeper than that buddy, but something like that. Do some research on the philosophical concept of boredom.

        Maybe she should concentrate on her school studies and not let the Liberals encourage her she probably can't even recite the Constitution at 17 years old

        How many Americans at any age, in your estimation, can recite the Constitution? Gun lovers can't even recite their favorite amendment, even though it's only 27 words...they always seem to forget the bit about "A well regulated Militia."

        More #IdentityPolitics from the leftist #MSM. Pro- or anti- gun control has nothing to do with age, gender or race.

        Wondering if the 77-year-old still drives. (I trust few old geezers, especially myself, behind either a wheel or a trigger.)
