53. What have these toters have to hide?

Nov 2013

I don't know Brent Spiner. I have read some of the toters responses. The tone of their language is down right hostile and these guys are toters. The toters seem unreasonable. These toters may be completely responsible, but their responses makes them to be completely irresponsible. To me they need to pass a background investigation. I have no problem with weapons' ownership as guaranteed in the constitution. But, in that same section there is the word regulated. Based on some of the above narrative they are probably trigger happy if they got too excited.
