While I strongly support the Second Amendment and licensed carry of firearms, I cannot support the current bill in the Legislature that would allow unlicensed persons to carry firearms. Please note the hypocrisy of the Legislature, as the proposal would allow unlicensed carry on Main Street, but not on Gervais Street (at the State House). If this is such a good idea here, why is it not a good idea there? |

| Because legislaters are afraid of law abiding people! And they should be worried! |

Yet another "I support the Second Amendment BUT" useful idiot.
"The right there specified is that of 'bearing arms for a lawful purpose'." - U.S. v. Cruikshank (1875)
The Second Amendment guarantees the right to bear arms as uninfringeable, hence requiring permits to exercise the right is facially impermissible.
Ignoring the plain command of the Second Amendment because one may not feel comfortable with it is selfish and disingenuous. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
