Another ‘usual’ suspect. Please alert the members of the Gun Violence Commission so they can send a social worker out to explain how dangerous guns are. I’m sure he’ll listen?

A lot of people seem to have trouble with GUN’s. I have been a gun owner and user since I was a mere boy, never seen one get up and chase anything and shoot it by pulling the trigger itself, IT ALWAYS TOOK A HUMAN BEING TO PULL THE TRIGGER, AS THEY POINTED IT AT THE INTENDED, GUNS DO NOT KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE.
That’s right people kill people,evils

Isn’t Alachua where Clovis and Chad are from? I thought there were tons of job openings there.
