18. It's as if "THE RIGHT to carry guns"

Tue Jan 8, 2013, 11:59 PM

Jan 2013

has become such an absolute principle that nobody even questions WHY we need to have them everywhere- at the mall, the stadium, a Kenny G concert, a school, at your workplace, etc. It seems as though just having a right to do something is its own justification for doing it. I'm sorry but I don't want to live in the OK Corral where just about everybody around me is carrying- concealed or not. If anybody is THAT scared for their lives and absolutely need a gun for to ensure their safety at all time and everywhere they go, then I'd say that they seriously need to re-evaluate their lifestyle, place of residence, etc.
