is not an infringement of the rights to gun ownership.

I think there is a push from the far right to extend 2nd amendment rights to include freedom to carry in public. The majority of Democrats support reasonable gun regulation and restrictions on public carry.

Incidents like this raise the reasonable question - Should everyone be allowed to carry a gun in public?
