The issue of gun control came to a head in Maryland after a man began regularly standing at a school bus stop with an AR-15-style rifle in his hands.
For the past few weeks, J'Den McAdory, 20, has been strolling around his neighborhood in Severn, Md., with a long gun in what he says is a protest against recent state gun control legislation.
Police say his actions are legal.
McAdory has not yet responded to NPR's request for comment, but he told WBAL-TV, which first reported on the controversy, "Guns can be safe if it's controlled by the right person." He added, "I really wasn't coming out here for the kids. I was coming out here to show people that this is legal."
