Both sides

Tonight on @wbaltv11: A man with an AR-15 has been showing up for weeks to a school bus drop off for local elementary school students. Parents say their kids are afraid, the man says he’s protesting @GovWesMoore’s new gun control law. You’ll hear from both sides at 5+6pm.

will engage with him and then he can "stand his ground" and kill said child or parent.

This is not a protest.

7. Exactly. He's not protesting anything, he's trying to scare and intimidate

And he's just looking for any flimsy reason to unload on some innocent person.

rule 1, never pick up a gun unless you are going to use it. Before you pick it up make sure the safety is on, and when possible, check that there is no round already in the chamber.

rule 2, never aim a gun at anything or anyone unless you are planning to shoot the thing or the person.

rule 3, after using a gun, make sure it is completely unloaded of ammunition and clean the gun before you lock it away in the gun safe.

8. Repeatedly showing up at a school bus stop with an AR15 and the police can't arrest him?

And we wonder why we have so many mass shootings?
