        "People believe that there's a great conflict between good and evil. Yet the real conflict is between the truth and lies. Good and evil are just the result. Believing in lies creates all of the violence, abuse, and suffering." Don Miguel Ruiz #WayneLaPierreisTHEbadguy

        Like the life, liberty & pursuit of happiness of 17 students/teachers, who simply wanted to attend their school in peace. Where was the fight for their rights?

        Definitely not true. Scare tactics! Divisive! This kind of rhetoric is bad business. There r answers 2 the gun problem that get a balance!

        Hard to be “free” when you’ve been shot and killed, brain-damaged or paralyzed. Also, hard to feel “free” when there are armed guards at our pre-schools 🙄

        No, I hate guns. And I don't think your freedom is more important than my life.

        That’s a bit of a stretch! “Well regulated” as per the actual 2nd Amendment is what we need & must demand!
