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 |
Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
