  • I believe it affects us in a good way, and bad way.
  • 1.) if it was never invented we wouldn't have protection by ourselves and or by military.
  • 2.) we have it now, but the bad thing about it is that instead of using it for useful reasons, we're all using it for battles.
  • 3.) it's sad but it is so good using it for hunting, because you haven't lived until you've tasted cooked deer meat.๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜‚
