ASSAULT RIFLES: Consider the moral implications

The latest massacre of three children and three adults in Nashville makes me heartsick. AR-15 weapons were designed and manufactured for the U.S. government to kill people. The public sale of AR-15’s has put these weapons in the hands of crazy civilians, and are accountable for most of the deaths in these public massacres.

Over the years, I have come to the realization that there is a moral dimension to all my actions. I am asking people who have supported the public sale of AR-15’s, and in particular elected officials who have voted NOT to ban the sale, to consider the moral dimension of your decisions.
