    Their wordsUnless you are in the military, you should be 21 years old to purchase an assault rifle. I’m not talking about 12-gauge shotguns or lever-action hunting rifles. I’m talking about the weapon of choice for mass murderers, AR-15s.

    Rihanna quoted

    Barbadian singer and businesswoman (Robyn Rihanna Fenty)…

    Our readingMass murder with legally bought weapons of war should never be normal, and classing such attacks differently by the attackers’ skin colour is racist

    racism

    Their wordsPeople are being murdered by war weapons that they legally purchase. This is just not normal. That should never, ever be normal. And the fact that it’s classified as something different because of the color of their skin? It’s a slap in the face. It’s completely racist.

    Oprah Winfrey quoted

    American television host, producer

    Our readingStronger gun background checks are compatible with upholding the Second Amendment
