One Thing you Learn from Shooting an AR-15
<p>Mywife was part of a mass shooting (<a href="https://medium.com/human-parts/a-mass-shooting-and-you-e52aef80a2a4" rel="noopener">see story</a>). As part of her new-found activism, she’s traveled to Washington D.C., and worked with senators to figure out how we, as a country, can have some sort of smart gun management. The problem, she says, is not the lawmakers who agree with us. It’s those, mostly republicans, that don’t.</p>
<p>A question occurred to my wife this week — if she’s never shot an AR-15, how can she argue against them to pro-gun legislators? How can she speak their language and try to find common ground?</p>
<p>To shoot an assault rifle, we had to drive an hour north into Wisconsin. Illinois recently passed a ban on assault weapons, and Wisconsin had less stringent gun laws. She brought along her friend T., a journalist, who also wanted to see for herself what people love about shooting guns.</p>
