Showing Original Post only (View all)I feel like the earth just moved. My 68 year old brother [View all]
who has been an ultra conservative right winger for the past 20 years or so just left me a voice mail. He called to let me know he has changed his mind about 2nd Amendment rights after yesterdays Texas school shooting and would now even support all guns just being banned. He said he just cant allow this stuff to go on anymore.
Im still processing this thinking what in hell took him so long.
