You can exercise your rights as you see fit. You seem to have adopted the woke position on scary guns. Do not pretend that scary long guns are more dangerous than other guns. You obviously have been drinking the cool-aid. Long guns are used in less than 1% of all shootings, and the number of human beings killed with knives, sticks, hands, and feet exceed ALL firearms put together.I do not understand all of this verbal disagreement nonsense over what something is called. No one needs an assault weapon anyway. They kill people. Purchase a double barrel shotgun. The looks of it will scare bad people away without having to fire a shot. Thanks.

The rest of us law abiding citizens will make our own choice of how we exercise our constitutional rights. So have yourself a nice hot cup shut the F up!
