I can't believe this bill tryna mess with our guns and stuff. Like, why they gotta go and change things up? It's gonna make it harder for us to protect ourselves and our families. I don't see how this is gonna help anyone, it's just gonna make things more complicated. I don't like it one bit. #NotMyBill #HandsOffMyGuns
