I love to rifle hunt for deer with my grandpa. I hunt mostly with my Savage 243. My grandpa and I are talking about selling it and buying a Savage 30-06. When I go hunting I go with my grandpa. When I went on my first deer hunt I was 10, I shot my first doe with my Savage 243. The doe was fifty yards when I looked down my scope and lined my crosshairs right on the front shoulder.

In one other instance an armed civilian, who also happens to be a firearm instructor tried to stop a shooter who was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle and wearing body armor.

homophobic massacre in Orlando on June 12. In certain respects the call makes sense. Should we live in a society with fewer guns? Of course. Does the right wing’s commitment to guns reek of double standards? Definitely. Are gun lobbies such as the National Rifle Association absurdly powerful? Absolutely. However, the current emphasis on gun control shifts the focus away from the core cause of the Orlando massacre: the injustice of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people of color.…

because of the second amendment: the right to bear arms. Gun activist argue that it is against their rights to take guns away because they should be allowed to protect themselves.
