"I heard my mother asking the neighbors for salt." But we had salt in the house. I asked her why she was asking the neighbors for salt. And she answered me: —Because our neighbors don't have a lot of money and often they ask us for something.
From time to time, I also ask them for something small and inexpensive, so that they feel that we need them too. This way they will feel more comfortable and easier for them to keep asking us for everything they need."

One day, high capacity magazines, AR 15s, and assault rifles will be banned. The next day a mother will be comforted that it was an insurgent rifle, the AR 16, and the 1st round of the second magazine, rather than the 11th round from the 1st, that killed her child.
Until we address the root cause, young conservative men, there are no real fixes. Just marketing that will get people killed. Bandaid solutions that do nothing. And kick the problems down the road.
So my mother decided to talk to one of the owners of the restaurant we went to today, and pointed me out as her only child. I responded "That she knows of."
