Over the week-end I watched Up with Chris Hayes on MSNBC. I guess I’m becoming an #upper, albeit online after the broadcast. It’s a great show, but not 5 AM great on the week-end. But I digress.
The last two week-ends the show has been about gun violence and what to do about it. I know as a European, I don’t get the gun culture that I see organizations like the NRA and certain libertarian groups want to defend. I cannot see why somebody would need a military style semi-automatic rifle. I don’t understand why somebody would need more than a couple or so handguns, unless it’s for something like target shooting competitively.
