If only we had a "well-regulated" group of gun owners I'd be a lot less fearful.<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-73779660897666168102014-09-30T14:23:34.723-07:002014-09-30T14:23:34.723-07:00I don't understand the need at all--Arizona or...I don't understand the need at all--Arizona or Virginia. Are people that scared of what's out there in the real world that they have to carry a gun? Why should we have to determine if someone should have a gun or not? Even my dad, who is a gun owner, says he had to go through an extensive background check and he wants everyone to go through the same. He even said to me that if everyone had to go through one, it would go a long way in weeding out those who should not. I think there lies the problem... There are too many people getting guns who should not be near a gun. <br /><br />I saw this report yesterday.

You are absolutely right - keeping guns out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them is the first line of defense. Walking around with your weapon on your hip is sending a hostile message.. and a scary one to me.<br />a/bAshleigh Burroughshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05790757220725900941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546626959391412613.post-11570298773836844682014-09-29T17:40:56.250-07:002014-09-29T17:40:56.250-07:00I don't see the logic of carrying a gun on som...I don't see the logic of carrying a gun on someone's hip these days. If someone feels compelled to go armed, there are shoulder holsters that nobody would even know they were there. Anyone who thinks they can use a gun to protect others better think long and hard about whether they really could. The day you were shot, there was a man there who was armed but he wasn't sure who to shoot. That's not an unusual problem. It's the reason we should concentrate on keeping guns out of the hands of those who should not have them as a first defense.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.com
