    I don’t like guns, but I don’t generally immediately have issues with people who do carry one.

    But holy hell I thought you meant a hand gun or something. This is a fucking huge as fuck assault rifle. That’s terrifying. I understand some people wanting a hand gun for protection (tho I never will personally), but carrying an assault rifle around is fucking ridiculous and should not be allowed.

      What makes the assault rifle scarier than a pistol?

      Like, do you think the bullets from that gun are more painful/deadlier than pistol bullets?

      Im not trying to belittle having a gun in public, I think that’s just unnecessary for every day life. But why is a big cumbersome assault rifle scarier than a very fast and easy to conceal pistol? To me, guns kill people dead regardless of the size. At least with the assault rifle slung like that its clearly a hassle to make ready to fire.
