Where do you stand on banning guns?

84. I disagree

Concealed carry has the potential to make a safer environment, but also has the potential to make a more dangerous environment. The madness hasn't stopped, it is in full bloom and the consequences are still unknown. A little reality check tells me that Open Carry would be far more likely to create a safer environment. Plus, it would be honest. Seriously, who's gonna fuck with some guy sporting a sidearm? It's like a sign saying "IF I DON'T KNOW YOU, APPROACH AT YOUR OWN RISK!"

You ask "Just how does concealed carry cause social harm?"
An individual carrying a concealed weapon causes virtually no social harm. Imagine living in a society where the majority of individuals walked around with concealed sidearms. Is that what we really want? Is that what we consider progressive? My problem is not so much with the law or Constitution, but with the mentality and behavior of a huge chunk of the population that buys into this climate of fear and delusion. We should be way beyond that kind of social thought process.
