Chapter 1: Gun Control and the Second Amendment

From “Avoiding Civil War II: Why Everyone Should Calm Down, Relax, and Think About Things”

A man in Uvalde buys a rifle on his eighteenth birthday. A woman in rural Montana keeps a shotgun by the back door because the nearest deputy is forty minutes away. A mother in Chicago buries her son, killed by a stray bullet on a Tuesday afternoon. A father in Vermont teaches his daughter to shoot on the same land his grandfather cleared. A teenager in Parkland will flinch at loud noises for the rest of her life. None of them are wrong to feel what they feel. All of them are living in the same country. That is the problem.
