Guns are real. I don't like, but....

I have only held one gun, one weapon of mass kills. It was an M16. I fired it five times. This was during my basic training in our US Air Force. Now, I feel I need to arm up. I don’t want to do such. I don’t want to hold a gun against another. Yet, do know, I can, will do with great sadness take such a stand in our defense of stupid.
