How to use gun in a sentence?
To me, I think it sort of reflects a very basic thing, which is more guns, more gun crime.
When I heard a wide swath of the Democratic presidential candidates in debates calling for national gun confiscation, weaponized local law enforcement to go door to door and take weapons, legally owned weapons from their friends and neighbors, I thought we cant let that happen, thats not fair to the men and women who work in local law enforcement.

The media coverage has been more about the people who do these acts rather than where they are being done, the conversation has been about gun laws and gun use and gun safety.
