  1. Well, guns make you feel more powerful, which is a good thing if you feel powerless, and of course if a gun is bigger or faster, it makes you even more powerful. It also assist with the fantasy that if you were at that grocery store, you would’ve been able to unholster, correctly identify the bad guy, aim, fire, and disable the attacker, all without attracting the attention of all the other open-carry folks in the audience, and without adding to the confusion of the situation, and not causing a wild cascade of firing as others failed to correctly assess the situation and the proper bad-guy target.

  2. Why does anyone need a reason? If you look up the word ‘infringe’ in the dictionary and then read the Second Amendment you will see why your government cannot prevent citizens from owning them.
    Unless, of course, you only believe in the Constitution when it is convenient.
    Like now. My question to you is…”why is it necessary for you to have high capacity blog postings for you to exercise your first amendment rights?” Perhaps you should be limited to 100 words a day, or possibly only one syllable words, perhaps you should be prevented from using the internet to spread your opinion and perhaps you should be restricted only to local newspapers. Better yet, perhaos you should be limited to quill pens and parchment or 1780 printing presses as was envisioned by our Founding Fathers. And, of course, perhaps you should be required to be registered for speaking your mind, and, lordy, lordy, if you want to conceal your name from public view when writing, then you should be required to have a ‘conceal carry’ permit.

    “The Pen is mightier than the Sword.” Perhaps all bloggers should have mental health checks and background checks to prove that they are not some Glenn Beck type. Perhaps you are developing a Communist Manifesto and planning a revolution that the rest of us want to know about.

    How do we know that you are not deranged and ready to go off at a moment’s notice? Perhaps you should not be allowed to protest or speak or write within 300 feet of a politician, such is the danger that you may represent.

    The rest of us normal people think we need to be protected from you. Who will help us? Somebody?
    Anybody?

    I assume you can produce yours when asked? LOL!

    1. LOL! Yes, if we adopt the same logic for the First Amendment as we have for the Second, I would be required to surrender my anonymity or else obtain a permit!
