Author’s Note: While this article is going to be published under my byline, I can’t take credit for it. Most of the content is from an anonymous Facebook post that popped up in my timeline earlier today. I did add a bit to it, but the main idea was someone else’s. And the main idea is this: due to what we know (the “because” in the below article) and the things we’re uncertain about (the “if” in the article), the best “common-sense gun law” is the one that allows citizens to keep their guns. I’ll be keeping mine… what about you? This first appeared in The Havok Journal on March 28, 2019.

Now you understand.
