As a veteran, I have handled military style weapons and I know first-hand they don't belong on our streets or in our homes
They belong in the armory.
As a public policy analyst, I know there's only one variable in all the research, in all the statistics that distinguishes the US and its litany of mass shootings from all the other countries that don't have this problem. It's not mental illness, it's not immigration, it's not poverty
It's the numbers and the military capability of these weapons. And you don't need a PhD to know that.
