With all this talk about companies and numbers of “units,” it sometimes gets missed that franchise owners are real people, members of the community with families.

It’s also easy to forget that every police officer puts his or her life at risk every time they answer a call or make a traffic stop. Especially sad when the life of someone who is working so hard to make a contribution can be ended so senselessly.

But, by God, let’s not infringe on the rights of these idiots to keep and bear arms.
