Gun lover gives up gun

While I will never understand his need to own firearms, I can absolutely emphasise with the gesture he has made.

Because of the Parkland teens, Chris Shields just decided to give up his AR-15. Now, the 18-year member of the military and owner of 10 guns, is calling on fellow gun owners to give theirs up too. pic.twitter.com/Xow6yy9uQg

As an aside, Emma Gonzales seems like an incredible person.

A fortnight ago she was just a normal young adult doing normal young adult stuff. Now she's a school shooting survivor and the figurehead for a major social movement.

I hope she's getting the support needed to deal with both these lifer-shattering events.
