A week after Trump Care passed, we find a woman, a girl, and a baby in the kitchen of a house in the rural south. GIRL (16): But Momma, because baby Brittany was sick at birth, she’s gonna lose her heath care now. WOMAN: It’ll be fine, Darlene Mae. We’ll make do.

People use guns to kill animals and other people. That’s it. When our forefathers granted us the right to bear arms, do you think they meant that we should be able to go into a pawn shop in any city in America and buy a semi-automatic weapon?
