Toker I'd like your thoughts on this because you seem like a gun lover and also a very reasonable person. Do you think you carry out of perceived need or because you like to? Or maybe it's both?
I've decided that the chances I would need it are so small that it's not worth the hassle to me. But honestly guns kind of bore me. I setup a shooting range on my property and it was fun for a little while. But I'd rather spend my time doing different things. I see the fun in it though. And I don't judge anyone who enjoys it as much as I love say playing guitar.
I'm just wondering if you are really into guns and having one with you, it seems like that's even more of an incentive to carry than the low probability you would need it and if so it would do any good.

@Tut:
Welp, since the USA has over 350 MILLION people, the rates of mass shootings, while bad, are not as bad as some other places. Now, of course, not all school shootings are "mass" shootings, which were the subject of my post. You have a tough time with basic stats, yes? Do you think I'm arguing in favor of school shootings? You, sir, are the moron.
@xCon:
Yeah, the vast majority of cops are the good guys. But, as I said, we have a real problem with the bad ones, and there are too many of those. I've listened to a couple of cop panels discussing the job, and they were unanimous in thinking that about 25% shouldn't be on the force. Now, some of those are just lazy or ineffectual, and some are violent criminals. All cops must be held to a higher standard. Would you have us eliminate cops altogether, just a Mad Maxian apocalyptic dystopian free for all? In that case, the Feds better NOT take my guns. But, then, without cops, how would they?
I'm SO done with this thread. Went climbing yesterday. Was bitchin'!

Why is it all the real patriots think the government is going to take their guns? Maybe they're not really patriots at all but instead are just delusionally disaffected, middle-aged, white males with some serious issues.

xcon,
You are misrepresenting the NRA.
The NRA have in no way endorsed this lunatic.
Your actions are typical left wing liberal bullshit using lies to further your agenda.
