Are we ever going to get tired enough of school shootings that we actually do something about them?

140. I'd be working to reverse that and make it ILLEGAL.

Open carry is just an accident waiting to happen, in my opinion. People parading around showing off their guns and ammo, in my opinion, are just asking for it. They're ASKING for some sort of big ol' shootout at the OK Corral, so they can prove how "right" they are and how "tough" they are and how "Second Amendment Remedies" they are. They all remind me of that obnoxious commercial for batteries that starred the tough-guy (and short-statured) actor Robert Conrad. He was featured in the commercial as kind of a hot-head, spoiling for a fight, talking about the chip on his shoulder and just daring somebody to try to knock it off. That, to me, sums up the gunners and other gun goons parading around showing how they're entitled to menace the rest of us with their damn fucking massacre machines open, at their fingertips, and at the ready.

And you expect me to feel safe with that menacing, bullying CRAP shoved in my face and blighting my field of vision? ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME?????? If I saw that in some store I was in, I'd report it to the manager and tell them as long as THAT is allowed in here, I will NOT be in here with it. And I won't feel safe OR interested in coming back into this place of business UNTIL THAT IS GONE. Don't care if it's purportedly "legal" or not. DON'T CARE!!!! And if it IS "legal," then there's one law that needs to be abolished in my opinion. You can have their aggressive, menacing, bullying, in-yer-face gun displays in public places where they DO NOT belong, OR you can have my business as a customer. But you can't have both.

I'm fed up. I've personally had enough. Go ahead and flame away if you must. Won't change my mind or soften my stance. I. Am. SICK. And. TIRED. Of. The. Reckless. Wanton. Access. To. GUNS. In. This. COUNTRY. And I am ALSO extremely SICK AND TIRED of the inaction on this issue, the chicken-hearted "response" from our so-called representatives, the unrestrained bullying and menacing of the NRA which is part of a very clear numerical minority but still somehow holds all the cards, all the balls of all our reps, and all the advantages as well as all the bully pulpits. THAT has to change, too.
