Who really “needs” a gun is a question that the gun grabbers are always asking, and sometimes you don’t know you need a gun until you need a gun — take the case of the pregnant Florida mother who killed a home intruder and drove off another with her AR-15.
Pregnant Florida mom uses AR-15 to kill home intruder
This is why people “need” AR-15s.

According to his bio, Matt Oliva is CEO and co-founder of something called SeedTech, and he wants you to know that Florida mother didn’t need a scary-looking AR-15 when a handgun would have done just as well, but as Dana Loesch so well put it:
Her body her choice. https://t.co/0BIxCHVz4U

But back to our story:
People don’t “need” AR-15s. A handgun in this case would suffice and even more, a security system. Unless you live in the projects, a gun isn’t “needed”.

That’s a pretty hot take — almost as hot as the counter-claim that people from low-income areas are “usually not educated enough” to find jobs and don’t need guns: “Why should they have to protect their families if they don’t possess things that people might want to steal?”
That’s classist.

It’s facts; even been to Camden, NJ? It’s populated with all races. Also one of the top dangerous places in the country, let alone Jersey.

I live in one of the most dangerous cities. But thanks!

When I was driving through Alabama 6 years ago, we stopped to get gas in a newer Dodge Challenger. The people working there saw we were from NJ and pulled out a shotgun and cocked it while we were taking the gas pump out asking “where you boys goin?” So yes, I agree
— Matt Oliva ?? (@emayteeteej) November 4, 2019
But … it wasn’t an AR-15, and Joe Biden has repeatedly exhorted all Americans to buy a shotgun. Good on those folk for listening to Uncle Joe.

That reminds me of the time I was in NJ and I went to buy a slurpee and when the guy behind the counter saw I was from Missouri he pulled out a sword and started chasing me around the 7-11 until a guy in full samurai armor showed up and I was able to get away.

While I was driving through Alabama a few months ago in a newer Jeep Wrangler, I stopped to get gas after going to the Barbers motorsports museum, the people working there saw I was from California and gave tips on an amazing bbq joint and a nice place to stay for the night.
