That people that fear other people due to the fact they are carrying an object are paranoid, delusional, or merely fascist bigots...

But hey, I am sure as soon as we turn this critical eye on your gris-gris, you'll be concerned, until then lets continue to malign a group we don't understand and label them with pseudo-psychological twaddle to compensate for our diminished feelings of power and relevance..
I am sorry you feel powerless before the will of the people, and have to project your lack of control and reason onto others, truly I feel bad for you.
Luckily there are states that agree with you and you can go there and feel safe, as for me I will continue to live in one that recognizes my rights and freedoms.
Protest that's what this is about, and if you can't really understand that I gots nuthin to say..
