My statement might go against some part of your story.
I agree with the mother part protecting their kids, happened to me so many times whenever I cried home and my mom drags my hands to know the cause of someone making me cry.
But I what I won't support is the firing arms that you guys boast about, I believe you might have heard Childish Gambino song and watch the video link how guns are treated with respect than life.
Also I recommend you watch this movie is that a gun in your pocket a child took his father gun to school and mistakenly fired an old man which later erupted more troubles... Watch the movie to know more.
I rest my case, I LOVE MY MUM.
Freedom is not safe, and everyone here in America has a right to state their opinion and live their life as they wish as long as they don't harm anyone...but as soon as you try to steal, rape, or kill, you will face the wrath of a free person protecting their family and community.
