“She fears someone could target him for violence because he is armed. He could get hurt, Aidara said”
Ah yes, the old “were taking away you rights for your own good” trick. An oldie but a goodie.
Having said that, it is a little odd to be walking a neighborhood with a rifle.
Nobody targets an armed person for violence.
This is the same liberal insanity that says we’d be safer without a strong military.
I can recall a time when folks carried rifles and shotguns hanging from a rack in the back window of their pickup truck, and left the windows down and the doors unlocked when going into a store or to church. This ain’t the same America. Kids won’t go play outisde when they see a rifle? ... Sheesh!
