I’ve never in my life needed an assault rifle. Have you?

@beachboysammy @ArtbyAthena1 They were never meant to.

@wolverine7997 @ArtbyAthena1 💯

@beachboysammy @ArtbyAthena1 I hear you there. I haven't fired one since I left the service, and I don't care to. Hunting rifles are about all a civilian needs.

@EMainze @ArtbyAthena1 Agreed. There's many fine hunting rifles available for those that hunt. I just want the possibilities of mass casualties alleviated by making weapons of war inaccessible to the average individual. I mean with all that's gone down isn't that a reasonable request?

@beachboysammy @ArtbyAthena1 Familiar- my father was a 1st Marine Guadalcanal x2.w silver star. Peleiu, New Guinea. & unofficially Fort Moseby. Lots of face to face killing. Once home firearms were STRICTLY banned on our property.

@6Perch @ArtbyAthena1 Some of the most peaceful people I know were at one time or another involved in or faced with extreme violence in life, and in the end chose to renounce violence. I get that 💯. Silver Star? Extreme valor on the battlefield. I appreciate your father's service. ☮️

@beachboysammy @ArtbyAthena1 Exactly.

@beachboysammy @wolverine7997 @ArtbyAthena1 Damn, when you say it like that….

@beachboysammy @ArtbyAthena1 Hell yeah brother. My grandpa was in Korea and I was in Iraq. Same thoughts here. I went to a public unsupervised range one day. And I was more afraid for my life than when I was at war. Everyone had an AR and it was the most unsafe thing ever. I left.

@beachboysammy @ArtbyAthena1 Thank you for your & your families service. Agree,why would any civilian need assault weapons.
