How am I supposed to tell who's dangerous and who's not? A gun certainly makes you look dangerous. I didn't actively protest the political message (as the brave six did) because, truthfully, I wouldn't feel safe if I saw those same people later in a store or at the movies. I certainly didn't want to provoke them.
I also have constitutional rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in my everyday life. People who have guns at movie theaters, restaurants, county offices come on, Ronny and public parks scare me. They are not protecting anyone's rights, they are jeopardizing them.
The rare murders in our quiet little town are usually committed by family members with legal weapons. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
As an individual, I believe, very strongly, that handguns should be banned and that there should be stringent, effective control of other firearms. However, as a judge, I know full well that the question of whether handguns can be sold is a political one, not an issue of products liability law, and that this is a matter for the legislatures, not the courts. The unconventional theories advanced in this case (and others) are totally without merit, a misuse of products liability laws. — Judge Buchmeyer, Patterson v. Gesellschaft, 1206 F.Supp. 1206, 1216 (N.D. Tex. 1985) |
