Oh gosh, I am running out of breath....I have been a little outspoken for tighter gun controls.......
America, America, home of the brave, land of the free, and home to the most mass murders in the World....I am sick of our violent, gun culture.....it is out of control. We go through far more red tape to get a driver's license, to obtain insurance, to get approval for loan and the list goes on.....want a gun....no problem.......
My family has always owned guns, they are hunters, my grandchildren were handling guns and hunting at a very young age......but they don't leave the house every day with a gun because they think they need to defend themselves on any given day.....I am more afraid of those who carry all the time....I think if you feel the need to protect yourself 24/7, you probably need to be in a padded cell and given meds twice a day.....
There are a lot of crazies out there who are just itching to fire their guns at someone....if you think you protect yourself with a mass murderer on a rampage, i think you are mistaken.....They use element of surprise and weapons designed to take out a lot of people. You and your gun would not have a chance and you would probably get shot with your gun still in the holster. If you want to keep a gun in your home for a possible intruder, I totally agree that you have that right.
To me, my rights for pursuit of happiness supersedes your individual right to carry a weapon, which is designed to kill, on the street. I shouldn't be afraid to shop for fear of a crazy gun toting fool walking down the aisles....and having to wonder, is he a good guy or is he a bad guy.
