MARSHALL, MI (WTVB) – Some people are not happy about a class in Marshall which shows those who attend how to build their own AR-15 rifle.
A small group of protesters showed up at the VFW Post 4073 in Marshall Tuesday as the class was getting underway. They say the scheduling was poorly timed in the aftermath of the Florida school shooting.
The event was scheduled before the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School which launched the latest national debate on gun control.
The AR-15 rifle is part of that debate due to its use in several mass shootings.
Everyone who attends the class has to pass a federal background check.
