in the hands of Americans. Gov. Abbott, if your beloved child had ever felt their chest ripped open in scorching pain by bullets from a semi-automatic rifle, not on the battlefield, but in school or their place of worship, you would better comprehend the utter pain, terror, and loss felt by the victims and families of Robb Elementary School. You would surely reconsider your position on whether 20 million AR-15s belong in the hands of civilians.
I was just 17 when I was shot in the chest by an AR-15 – yes, in the hands of a stranger with mental illness who never should have owned a gun to begin with. But there was no background check to determine if my shooter should have owned a semi-automatic assault rifle, the only kind of gun that could have shelled multiple rounds into the car I was sitting in hundreds of yards from his scope. AR-15s are designed to kill humans, plain and simple. And they do. Over and over.
