When I was in junior high school, my sister and I got into a fight (one of many). Rarely were our fists the weapon of choice. Usually it was a phone with a cord that could be retracted after it hit someone in the head...kind of like a boomerang...it always comes back so you can throw it again. But on this particular day we were armed with Sharpies and as we flung the potent permanent little suckers at each other, we never stopped to notice that we were marking up mom's curtains, walls, sofa...oh boy...it wasn't pretty. My point being, that we were mad. Consequences never entered our minds until it was too late.
I just read an article in the LA Times about people wanting to make it cool to "pack" in public...you know, carry a firearm in the open on your hip, across your chest, on your rear...in your hand??? Who knows.
Here's one guy's take: "What we're trying to say is, 'Hey, we're normal people who carry guns,' " said Travis Deveraux, 36, of West Valley, a Salt Lake City suburb. Deveraux works for a credit card company and sometimes walks around town wearing a cowboy hat and packing a pistol in plain sight. "We want the public to understand it's not just cops who can carry guns."
Okay dude...yes, it is possible that a normal person might want to carry a gun as an accessory (for the love of God just buy yourself one of those huge cowboy belt buckles with your initial on it and call it good). But here's the problem...normal people carry guns....really weird psycho, utterly deranged, mentally ill, crazy people who USE guns to shoot your ass for no reason. Yeah, those people.
Do you really want people who can't control their Sharpies to have guns? How about those people who can't refrain from stepping on a package of ketchup in the McDonald's parking lot just to watch it squirt across the pavement, landing in front of my car door where I am going to step? Do you want those people to pack guns?

Guns are simply the phallic represntation of a man who feels emasculated...
Guns don't kill people...
People with guns kill people...
and I eed my assault rifle to hunt!
lol
well i'd imagine the fellow talking there is less than 5'9
just a guess.
Oh heavens, I just got the uh-oh feeling. I hope the crazy ones have it on their forehead or have one made of licorice.
well if the crazy people have guns... i want one too... it's only fair :)
Well, it's a right to have a gun but there should be improved screening in order to buy a gun. Like say requirements to have a license to carry a gun(which should be re-newed every year to keep things regulated) are having taken a mental health test at some hospital or where ever they have them and a deep criminal record screening.
and how about road rage some people with no records now in jail - imagine if they had had guns for Pete's sake they can't control cell phones..
Let's see, the "Right to Bear Arms" if taken literally, means I can have any arms I want - such as grenades, tanks, nukes even...so any yahoo (like Southern Sage) who believes they have an unfettered (look it up southern sage) right to guns is sadly mistaken - reasonable restrictions apply, such as maybe banning assault weapons, or licensing all guns with local police agencies or making the purchaser of a gun undergo background checks...Yahoos like Southern Sage must feel their manhood threatened yet they are allowed to procreate...Losers like him probably need a gun to compensate for their lack of manhood...
just what we need...angry people with firearms loaded with deadly bullets...great...
