“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles.”

-Jeff Cooper

We are in an incredible point in history, be glad you're alive to witness it. Once you demonize one weapon, there's another evil to replace it. I won't do another quote, but when you give up one liberty for the "feeling" of safety, you will ultimately lose both.
