Oh man, did I have a blast at Anime Boston this year! Well, actually it was my first time, but I still had a blast. It's what I've been wanting to go to for a long time, ever since High School, but there are so many voice actors from past conventions I'll probably never get to meet unless they come back. I hope they decided to invite Bryce Papenbrook again, I want to ask him if his father was one of his inspirations for becoming a voice actor. I did meet Suzie Yeung and got her autograph; I'll try to post it and what I bought on my DeviantArt account.
Anyway, it's time to move onto the most dangerous place in all of Anima, well at least I think it's one of the most dangerous places in Anima, considering what's underneath it and all that. Oh, I've also been thinking that, with the Empire's invasion at Vale, I might have Atlas step up the production of newer next generation fighters, which will be coming from Ace Combat.
Anyway, let's get to the reviews.
Monster King: Thanks.
Jack Smith1: I try, I really try. But when I just hear about these school shootings and all the kids who will never have children of their own, it just really bites my ass and hits my heart really hard. Now, as for Salem getting her ass handed to her by the Rebellion? Well, that might happen, with a certain pilot helping out.
54godamora: Yes, I am familiar with Highlander, my mom showed me that movie a long time ago, but I don't think it will be that easy for Salem.
StarWarsLover1998: You know, I never thought of that. What if Jinn was telling Ozpin that 'he' can't kill Salem, but someone else did. Thanks for that.
42: Let's just pray that people actually do something about these crimes and not back down cause they don't have the balls.
Silverfox3456: I agree with you completely. I may be a guy who likes guns, but there are some guns I know civilians shouldn't be allowed to purchase.
Spartan-626: Thanks.
BlindFaunusGirl: Glad you liked it and I am also glad that we both agree on that politics and the cutting of mental health resources is one of the main issue's and causes for these tragedies. They need to get a better grip on the situation or else they'll be more trouble down the road, I am sure of it.
Alright, onto the chapter.
Luffy L Deathwalker: Weren't you the one who suggested Malgus?
Reader, the guest: I can't make any promises about Ironwood.
SunPhoenix90: Yeah, I kind of feel bad for them as well.
Disclaimers are the same as before, please enjoy.
Chapter 87: The Farm
Having learned the truth about Salem, Teams RWBY, GARM, Ahsoka, Faye, Kara, Fordo, Rex, Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech and Qrow looked at Ozpin who sighed. "Before you all start saying that I should have told you all everything about Salem, you're all right. I should have told you everything from the beginning, but I was too much of a coward to say anything about it. I felt it was my burden and mine alone, that's what I choose not to tell you or anyone else."
"So, let me see if I got this right." March started. "You rescued Salem from her cruel pop, had planned a lot of adventures with her, only to end up dying later on, she begged both gods to bring you back to life, but instead they made her immortal, hoping she would learn the value of life and death, she didn't and tried to bring humanity against the Gods, she failed, they wiped out all life on the planet before leaving, she threw herself into the stuff the Grimm are made from, hoping it would kill her, which it didn't. Then the God's sent you back to Remnant, to clean up their mistake, only to find Salem and rekindled your old flame, had a family and when you finally told her the truth, she outright kills you, her daughters and has been trying to bring the gods back to Remnant so she can kill them? Did I leave anything out?"
"You left out the fact that she knows a bit of the Dark Side thanks to that Sith Lord and that there is a means to kill Salem, but the Gods neglected to say anything about it to Ozma/Ozpin." Arthur added.
"Oh yeah, that to." March remembered.
"Obviously, the God's decided to have Ozpin clean up their mess rather than do it themselves. They probably thought it would be beneath them and trivial to clean up something they caused and want to see how long it would take humanity to learn from the past. While everyone else suffers, they sit back and watch like we're all pawns on their chessboard." Galen remarked.
"So, what is this means to kill Salem, professor?" Ruby asked.
"I… don't know. I've been searching for years, tracking down every lead as to what Salem's weakness is, but I have found nothing. Nothing but wild rumors and speculations, some of them even outright ridiculous, and… I have lost many allies over the years, allies who I failed to share this information with, until now." Ozpin said, turning to Qrow. "Qrow, you have been with me for many years, and I know you have done a lot and lost much, so I will understand if you hate me for what I kept from you."
"I don't hate you, Oz." Qrow said, having finished taking a drink from his flask. "You're not the only one who's had it rough. No one wanted me. I was cursed. You gave me a place in this world, and I've given my life to you because we are doing some good. Meeting you, wasn't the worst luck of my life. It's having Raven for a sister that is the worst luck of my life." He then turned to Ozpin. "So, you fell in love with Salem when you were trying to complete the mission the God's had you undertake. Sure, you made a mistake, but you're only human, like the rest of us. You said it yourself, you've made mistakes, and if I'm being honest, I would have done the same thing if I were you. But all you can do is make up for your mistake and work with us by telling us the truth. I will admit that the part about God's part and that Malgus guy was a surprise, but I'm pretty sure that's something you didn't even know, the part with Malgus anyway. Not sure how Jimmy's gonna take this but knowing him he'll just probably go for something reckless without coming up with a decent plan."
"Now that we have that all take care of, what are we gonna do now?" Blake asked.
"I suggest we get a move on!" Maria said aloud. "It'll be dark before we know it. There's a trail over there, trails usually lead somewhere." The old lady pointed out.
"Lady, I don't know who you think you are but—" Yang started but Maria slammed her cane down.
"No buts! Honestly, I'm still coming to terms with the fact that this is humanity's second time around, and all this stuff about the Sith. But, if we don't move, we die. And I'll be damned if I've lived this long just to die out in the cold!" Maria said firmly.
"She's right. Come on. Let's grab whatever hasn't been crushed by the crash and our own gear. It won't be long before it gets dark and the last thing anyone want's is to be frozen out in the wilderness. Besides, we need to find shelter." Ruby said in agreement, handing Ozpin/Oscar the relic. "Is there anything else you want to tell us?"
"No, I told you everything and you all saw what happened in the past. I'm not hiding anymore secrets, Ruby. I promise." Ozpin assured her.
None of them knew that within the Land of Darkness, inside one of Watt's lab's, Maul watched as within a specially made medical tank a body was being prepared for its new purpose. Using droids and techniques stolen from his former master, Maul had placed the body of the late Tyrian into the tank after making the necessary 'improvements' to the later serial killer's body. His brain, heart and lungs were kept preserved, inside bacta tanks that kept them alive and healthy as if they were still inside the body.
"Yes, it seems to be coming along well." Maul noted as Salem entered the lab, accompanied by Watts. "Ah, Lady Salem. I am honored by your visit." He said with a bow.
"How is the patient?" Salem asked.
"Tyrian, as of now still remains indisposed at the moment, but the procedure is proceeding as expected. With the doctor's help, we have been able to craft the necessary parts for his new body. The damage to his heart has been heeled, but for the moment we are waiting to proceed to the next phase." Maul reported as a blood covered medical droid powered down near the tank.
"How soon until he will be ready?" Watt's asked, impatiently.
"Perhaps you would like to take over, Doctor?" Maul questioned, reaching out and started to choke Watt's again with the Force. "Need I remind you, that cybernetics and cyborg technology from my galaxy is far more advanced that anything you, that fool Ironwood and that greedy Schnee could ever develop. You are lucky that I suggested to our lady to put Tyrian's body to good use rather than let the Grimm eat his remains." Maul then released his grip around the doctor's neck and Watt's fell to the ground hard. "But, to answer Watt's question, it will still be several week's before he is ready for his mission. I know you need some good news."
Maul wasn't wrong, losing Cinder and the Fall Maiden powers, along with the Relic of Knowledge was a severe blow to her cause, Hazel on the other hand was no matter. She knew in time that his sister's death was caused by the Grimm and had planned to kill him in advance once his usefulness had come to an end. "Hazel will die, in time. For now, we will need to recoup from our loss at Haven." Salem told her loyal follower. "What of Adam Taurus? Have you found him yet?"
"Adam has eluded us, but I sensed in him much anger and hatred towards the Belladonna girl. I believe I know where he is, but as of now, I cannot be certain. However, I have received information from one of my probes of another inquisitor arriving on the planet. I believe they may be wanting to speak with us, perhaps it would be essential for our plans in Atlas." Maul informed Salem.
"Perhaps, but we still need someone to replace Hazel." Salem agreed, casting a glance at the tank holding Tyrian's body. "Watt's, you will stay and ensure that Tyrian is ready for his new purpose. Maul, you will track down Adam and bring him here. I believe I have an offer for him, an offer he will find most promising."
"Do we really need that animal working with us? He failed already, why give him another chance to fail again?" Watt's questioned. His question was answered by a blast from Salem that sent him hurling into several empty bacta tanks.
"Need I remind you, doctor that while Maul also failed in destroying Haven and acquiring the relic, he has proven to be more useful with his insight and knowledge of my droid army. Question my plans again, and I will ensure you suffer a fate far worse than death. Understand?" Salem told the Doctor who silently went to work while Maul left with Salem.
"Mistress," Maul began as he walked by Salem on the way to the outcropping where his ship was. "Might I ask how your Lightsaber training is progressing?"
"My training is coming along well, Malgus taught me much all those centuries ago, but you're help has been much appreciated. I'm pleased that you haven't called yourself my master." Salem told Maul.
"You are the one who leads us, I will not take over your role as leader, that is your responsibility. I only live to serve you, my lady." Maul replied as he boarded his ship. "I will find Taurus and bring him here." His ship soon powered up and blasted off back towards Anima while Salem returned to her domain, entered one of the large rooms and ignited her own Lightsaber, a weapon she constructed years ago before she began her exercises.
Back in the snowy terrain of Northern Anima, Team's RWBY and GARM along with Qrow, Oscar/Ozpin, Maria, Faye and Kara proceeded along the trail as more snow started to fall at a faster pace. Rex, Fordo, Hunter, Wrecker, Crosshair, Tech and Ahsoka had volunteered to scout the trail ahead for anything that could shelter them until the storm had passed. Galen sat in the driver's seat of his Shark, with Grogu sitting in the passenger seat as he drove slowly as to not leave his companions behind. "Doesn't look like this is gonna let up any time soon." Qrow noted.
Blake sneezed, followed by Weiss who were still unsure if delivering the relic to Atlas was such a good idea. Arthur and Rose were keen to agree with them, but to their surprise March kept scanning the surrounding area with his heavy blaster as if he knew something was nearby. "Hey! You guys better come see this!" Rex shouted through the storm from farther ahead. The group made it to Rex's location and saw a large two-story farmhouse, several greenhouses that flanked the cobblestone drive, two barns and several smaller buildings ahead of them, one of the front gates squeaking as it swung back and forth with the wind. Above the gate was a large sign that read 'Brunswick Farm's.
"Well, at least we found some shelter from the storm." Blake said with relief.
"It looks abandoned." Weiss pointed out.
"It's still better than this." Ruby said, gesturing to the snowstorm blowing around them.
"Come on, I think we could all use some rest." Qrow told the kids and walked through the gate with the others, except for March who stayed outside the gate. "Hey! Come on, let's move it."
"No way, man! I am not setting foot inside this place!" March protested, one of his feet thumping rapidly. "This place is creepy! I got something on my radar and it ain't friendly! You guys can sleep in the creepy farm if you want, but I'm staying right here!" Qrow only responded by grabbing the boy and dragging him through the gate, which then closed with a clang. "I'm telling you guys, there's something here and we need to leave like right now!"
"Not with the storm approaching. We won't be able to see anything until it clears up." Hunter said as Qrow released his grip from March, allowing the genetically modified clone to lead him towards the shark which Galen parked in one of the barns. "Ok, kid, spill it. What's got you so on edge?"
"This place is dangerous. There's something here, on this farm that's a danger to anyone who passes through this area. I don't know what it is, but anyone who's traveled through this area has disappeared without a trace, never to be found again and I mean never!" March explained, his foot still thumping the snow-covered ground. He then turned to Galen. "Come on, boss, you have to agree with me? Don't you sense something?"
"I sense something, but I can't lock down its location. Whatever it is, it must be something very dangerous if you're saying we should leave." Galen answered as he picked up Grogu and placed the little guy on the ground. "Either way, we need shelter until the storm passes. Hopefully it won't be too long."
He then felt a tug on his clothing and looked to see Grogu looking at him with his big eyes. "What's the matter little guy?" he asked as Grogu leapt into Galen's arms. "Huh, seems this guy has taken a liking to me like he has with Wrecker."
The wind howled around them as Galen, Hunter, Grogu and March joined up with the others on the front porch of the farmhouse. "I don't get it. The empty towns we've passed through were all damaged or unfinished. But this place looks… fine." Ruby observed.
"Maybe everyone left in a hurry. Before things took a turn?" Weiss suggested, shivering and wrapping her arms around her to keep herself warm.
"I don't think so, we would have seen people making a break for it as we made our way down from the crash." Rose told the former heiress.
Qrow tried to open the door and noticed it was locked. "Hmm. Stay on guard." He told the group before he kicked the door open and proceeded inside with their weapons drawn, cautiously looking around the place.
"Close the door already! It's cold enough in here as it is." Maria shouted having taken Grogu back from Galen before she entered the house, while Blake and Oscar pushed a drawer to block the door.
"I saw a chimney from outside. Maybe we should get a fire going?" Blake suggested.
"I agree. Arthur and I will go look for some blankets." Weiss added in agreement before she and her boyfriend headed up the stairs, followed by Tech.
"Yang, go with Weiss." Qrow told his niece.
"Wrecker, go with Blake and gather some firewood It's going to be a cold night, that's for damn sure." Hunter ordered.
Ruby lingered by the entrance hall for a bit while the others looked around, with Galen, Ahsoka and Faye standing close by. Oscar found a study while Ruby noticed a group of pictures on the wall of the family that owned the farm. "Something doesn't feel right. If the people who owned this farm had left, we would have seen tire tracks or bumped into them on our way here. Yet I don't sense any other presence here aside from all of us, it's almost like they just…" Ruby began before they heard a high-pitched scream from Weiss. Everyone ran upstairs and into the room where Weiss, Yang and Arthur stood in horror as on the bed was a pair of decomposing corpses.
"Oh my god." Kara gasped in horror.
A short while later, the group finally managed to get a fire going. Weiss sat by the fire, still shaken up from she saw earlier with Arthur comforting her. Blake wrapped a blanket around the former heiress before she took a seat back on the couch where Yang was sitting. The door opened up and soon closed as Qrow, Fordo and Rex entered, with Qrow brushing the snow off himself. "It's the same in every house. Bodies. Every bed in every home. It's like the whole estate just went to sleep and never woke up." Qrow told the kids.
"We even checked the bodies for any signs of a struggle or marks, and we found nothing. I don't get it."
"So, then we aren't staying here, right? If something killed those people, then we need to get the hell of here before whatever killed them comes back." March asked, his foot thumping rapidly once more.
"We don't have a choice. Storm outsides only getting worse. We'd freeze to death before we made it anywhere." Qrow told the kid as he walked over to the fireplace to warm up. "Isn't that right, Oz?"
"Qrow is correct, until the storm passes, we must stay here for the time being, hopefully it won't be much longer." Ozpin said in agreement.
"No! No! No way in hell am I sleeping in a house where a bunch of rotting corpses were only just found. Whatever did this, it's still here. You guys can sleep here, but I'm staying by the buggy for a quick getaway." March said, grabbing a few blankets before he exited the house, followed by Ahsoka
"Well, we might as well get comfortable." Maria stated as she walked over to a bookshelf while Ruby suggested that they look for supplies, if there were any still in the house. Blake offered to take Yang, Rose and Faye to try and find a vehicle of some kind, which seemed to annoy Yang. Ruby, decided to go look for food, which Weiss, Arthur and Galen decided to help with, leaving Maria, Oscar, Kara and Grogu alone, the first of whom found a book and began to read it while Kara tended to the fire. As for Qrow and the clones, they decided to do another sweep of the farm, incase they missed anything.
Outside, Yang, Rose, Faye and Blake walked through the storm, past March who had closed the door to the shed holding Galen's vehicle and towards a nearby shed. The three entered the shed and found rows of shelves, full of supplies and a tractor. "Something tells me that's not street legal." Blake observed.
"Riding a tractor like that through the city streets, ya'll are bound to draw a few eyes from some people and it's not as fast as other vehicles." Rose remarked, lowering her shotgun after scanning the shed for any hostiles.
"What do you think happened here?" Yang asked.
"There's that well in the square. Maybe water contamination?" Blake suggested.
"I don't think they drank some bad water. This is something else and I think Marche boy has a good idea of what it might be. It's days like this I wish had ears like you two so I can hear a lot better from a distance. Seriously, one of the hands on my family ranch could hear a Grimm from a kilometer away and when he did, he nailed with a headshot." Rose told the two members of Team RWBY as she knelt down and picked up some straws of hay. "There's something here and it ain't no man or Faunus."
"Whatever it is, we should be on our guard." Faye said.
Yang stopped and put her hand on her forehead. "Hey, are you okay?" Blake asked.
"Yeah… I mean, no. But I don't know. I'm just tired." Yang answered. Blake was also feeling tired and so was Rose, but Rose had a little more energy than she let on. "Hey, I found something." Yang called out as she saw a flatbed next to the window, but through the window she saw the figure of Adam Taurus unsheathing his sword, making her gasp and reel back in shock. Blake was quick to check on Yang, who assured her she was alright and thought she was seeing things, still getting flashes from the night Beacon fell.
"This might be a stupid question, but do you two think that he's still out there? Adam, I mean? Sure, the guy had a lot of anger issues and hatred towards humans, not that I can't blame him for hating the bigots and dumbasses who put the Faunus down and such, but do you think he's still out there, somewhere in the world?" Rose asked.
"If he is, I doubt that many in the White Fang would support a leader who would runaway to save themselves and abandon their comrades." Faye pointed out.
"I don't know. If he went back to the White Fang, there would have been serious consequences. But he never really liked people telling him what to do. Adam's strong, but his real power comes from control. He used to get in my head, make me feel small. But now I see he just wanted to pull ne down to his size." Blake answered. "Sienna told me, my father and mother that once she finished helping in retaking Beacon, she would bring Adam to justice for crimes against both humanity and the Faunus. My sensei said the same thing." She then removed her hood and looked to Yang's hand. "I'm not leaving. And if we ever see him again, I promise I'll be there." She told Yang.
"That goes double for me! If that horn headed bastard tries anything, he'll lose more than just an arm and a horn this time, I'll blow a hole right through his head and then I'll blow his nuts off with some buckshot!" Rose exclaimed, getting looks from the two of them. "What? If he thinks he can come after my friends and get away with it, he's got another thing coming and a few punches and bullets to boot!"
"Well, that's one way of putting it." Blake murmured, before she turned to Yang. "but what about the trailer?" She asked, after Yang decided they should head back to the house.
"We're fine. We can hook that flatbed up to Bumblebee in the morning, maybe we might even find another one in one of the other barns." Yang told the two. All three of them exited the barn and headed back to the house, but Rose took a look down the well and for a brief moment, thought she saw a pair of red eyes from below.
"What is it?" Faye asked.
"I thought I saw something down in the well." Rose answered before she
At the same time, March had rolled out a sleeping bag he purchased prior to the groups departure from Mistral and was about to call it a day when he saw Ahsoka standing in the doorway to the barn, covered in snow, along with a certain force sensitive child who was also covered in snow. "Alright, spill it. What makes you so sure that there's something lurking here?" the Togruta asked as she sat down by the portable heater that March had brought from the rebellion months ago.
"It's in the air, I can feel something. You heard what Jinn said, Salem controls the Grimm and she's had centuries to learn how to create new types of Grimm, we've seen the ones she made based off the Arachnids and Manti, who's to say what's on this farm isn't something she created from your galaxy?" March answered as he laid down on the sleeping bag. "Something about this place just reeks of death and I'm not just talking about the bodies we found in the house." He added placing his heavy blaster rifle near him as he turned to one side, wincing in pain slightly. "Damn it, my Aura must not have fully healed my that blaster shot I took on the train."
"You're hurt and you didn't say anything!?" Ahsoka questioned.
"I didn't really have much time to say anything, with the train crash, learning about Ozpin's secret, Salem's past and her possible connection to the dark side." March grunted, lifting up the leg of his pants and showed Ahsoka the blaster mark which was slowly starting to heal. He was surprised when Grogu walked over and touched his wound, healing it in an instant. "Woah! Can all Jedi do that?" he asked.
"It's a gift that many Jedi knew. Some of them were masters at this ability, I knew one of them… along time ago." Ahsoka answered, remembering a certain friend of hers that used this ability many times during the war. "You get some sleep; I'll stand watch and keep a close eye on Grogu. He tends to wander off, especially when he's hungry." Ahsoka told the rabbit faunus.
March wasn't the only one who felt something was off about the farm. As the wind howled around the farm, Tech used his scanner to preform a topographical scan of the farm and found a network of tunnels underneath the farm, used for the well in the center of the farm. The large number of tunnels wasn't an issue, during a scan for lifeforms down below them, Tech picked up multiple lifeforms directly underneath them. The clones were planning on investigating these lifeforms when the storm let up, but Hunter had a strange feeling that something about those lifeforms was more dangerous.
At the same time, Ruby used the flashlight of her Scroll to light up a room that was full of alcoholic bottles while Weiss used her rapier to send small flames that lit up the candles in the room. The two girls, Galen and Arthur looked around the room and found more alcohol and a bar. "Maybe we should keep this room closed." Ruby suggested.
"Because of your uncle?" Galen asked.
"Because of my uncle." Ruby answered.
"Too much alcohol is a bad thing. During my time in the wilderness, I have seen many people drinking more than their fair share of alcohol and they have often been found in… less than pleasant positions." Arthur said.
"Less than pleasant…" Weiss began before her eyes widened when she realized what Arthur meant. "Ruby? Are we really still going to Atlas?" Weiss asked.
"Why wouldn't we be?" Ruby asked back.
"I mean… you heard what Jinn said. If there's no conventional way to kill Salem and she does have a weakness, then what are the odds that General Ironwood would know what her weakness is, or does he even know about Ozpin's and Salem's past?" Weiss answered.
"We all saw what Jinn showed us." Galen spoke up. "The Gods were the ones who made Salem immortal in order to teach her the meaning of life and death, but instead it only fueled her desire to destroy the gods. What happened between her and Ozma was tragic, but she made her choice and no one else did for her. Ozpin isn't to blame; Salem went down this path on her own."
"But how are we going to find her weakness? Ozpin had years to find it and he hasn't found a single lead to her weakness." Weiss pointed out.
"We must have hope." Arthur spoke. "Hope that Salem's weakness will be discovered before she can complete her mission. Why are you so unsure that we don't have a chance against Salem?"
"Sorry, I-I don't know what I'm saying, I'm just really tired and I really, really hate this place." Weiss answered with a sigh as the four of them now found more alcohol and a metal cellar door in the ground, the handles chained together. "A wine cellar? Great." She groaned.
"I don't think it's a wine cellar. If it is, why it be chained up?" Arthur asked. Before anyone could ask a question, Ruby found some canned food which the four of them grabbed as much as they could carry before they headed back to the others. Except for Galen who cast a glance at the cellar door, concerned about why it was chained up.
"There's something wrong here." He said to himself as he walked away from the room, just before the doors opened slightly and then closed with a bang.
And that concludes the first part of the Brunswick Farm chapters. So, let's recap on what has happened.
Ozpin's secret has been told to the group, willingly I might add and while in canon it's been said that Salem cannot be killed, it appears she has a weakness. A weakness that has yet to be discovered yet.
Ozpin has not secluded himself in the back of Oscar's mind as he has the trust of his students, and Qrow who are sticking with him all the way, since they know that Salem does have a weakness.
Tyrian's body is being modified for some unknown purpose. Yeah, he's not entirely dead yet. Trust me, when the time comes he will die for good. But don't expect to see his new and improved body anytime soon.
Salem has a lightsaber, which she found during all the time she's had to live. No that does not mean she is connect to the Force, it's so she has another means to defend herself.
Maul is now seeking Adam Taurus. What does Maul want with him?
The group has arrived at the Brunswick Farm and has yet to discover what horrors await them underground, but it seems that March has a gut feeling that something is entirely wrong about the whole farm. Special thanks to Darth Cody for that idea, but how will it impact what comes next? You'll have to wait until next time.
Now, in regard to the recent mass shootings that have been occurring as of late across the US, I listen to the president's speech last night and I agree with him about banning the sale of assault style weapons and high-capacity magazines, better background checks and mental health counselling for those with mental health issues and the Red Flag warnings about those who try to buy a gun, but I am not sure that raising the age limit for someone to buy a gun is a good idea.
I remember all those lock down drills we had back in elementary school and looking back at them today, I never really thought anything like that would ever happen, but I was proven wrong a lot, especially with Sandy Hook which happened about ten years ago.
I ask all of you, do we really need assault style weapons for hunting or self-defense? If you say yes, then you clearly have no idea what they were built for. The AR-15 is an assault rifle like the M4 and M16, which were built for war. Do we need weapons like that in the hands of civilians? No! We don't. How many more children have to die because of the idiocy of adults who don't have the guts to do what they know is right?
That's all I have to say. Until next time, please read and review. Also, please offer a silent prayer to the families and friends of the victims of the Uvalde shooting and all the other recent shootings.
