First off, I don't understand why you would need to have a gun here to feel safe. I live an hour from Philadelphia, go there 1-2 times a month to visit our son at Temple. I also live about 10-12 miles from the Amish shooting.
Some people carry a gun because they have "little man syndrome", and I don't mean pecker size lol. I work with a few that have them because it makes them feel like a big shot, and knowing them, there is one that should NOT have one.
I have no problems with people having a weapons permit, but they should be a little harder to get. I was brought up with a Dad that was a collector. At one time, we had around 105 weapons in the house, all locked up, with an alarm system. We also had a napoleon cannon from the Civil war that we did reenactments with.
Between training from my Dad, 6 years of National Guards, I have plenty of experience with weapons, but I still choose not to carry one.
The U.S. is a violent culture. We have the same video games, movies and music as many other countries, but they are not violent, we are. Figure that one out. Could it be we have a bigger drug problem? More disparity between the greedy rich and the middle class/poor? To many broken families? How 'bout that little fellow running the Country that feels he can invade a Country for Preemptive reasons? One could argue for any one of these issues.
When the right to have arms was written, it was for a quick assembly of a militia in case of need again. (not for fear of natives lol) But did they foresee a gun firing hundreds or rounds/sec when they wrote it?
I repeat, I have no problems with people who need to carry weapons getting a permit, but there should be better screening.
You will NEVER get the guns away from the people that want to use them to commit a crime. Drugs are illegal, and look how easy it is to get them. Any way, points to ponder.

Very insightful and very well thought out and put together. I don't think I could agree more with what you just said

You're arguing both sides of the issue. Did your Dad, a gun owner, have "Little Man Syndrome"? Then you say in one sentance that you can't understand why someone feels the need to carry a weapon, followed by "The U.S. is a violent culture". There's your answer. You're basically calling the government incompetent, yet it's this very gov't that would be solely responsible for protecting you from crime if everyone relinquised their right to carry arms. Carrying a weapon is a serious responsibility. For the people not willing to accept that responsibilty, deny them access to weapons. Prosecute those who misuse them and leave everyone else alone.

No, not arguing both sides, "some points to points to ponder" was at the end of that. Just to stimulate more discussion about different points.

Wow, way to toss my Dad under the bus. My Dad was a gun COLLECTOR, did not have a concealed weapons permit. I thought I made that clear that the two people I work with had the permit, and DO suffer from this syndrome. Re read it, did I say ALL people that carry have this syndrome? No.

I don't feel the need to carry one, and the US is a violent culture. You can have both, because most Americans DON"T carry weapons, but the violence can be seen on the news every day. Do you not agree??

I think my government IS incompetent. I think they should all be booted out, replaced
with people that are worried about a Countries NEEDS, not wants, and not keeping squeaky wheels oiled. I need to buy a few cases of tea and head to Boston Harbor.
Do you not agree that the US is a violent culture?

If you also notice, I said I have no problem with people HAVING a concealed weapons permit, they need to change WHO they give them to, and what checks they do.
I don't recall saying the Feds should round up all the weapons from people either. Re read it again.

It's not up to the governments discretion whether Americans can own guns. The Second Amendment is pretty clear on that. You WANT them in charge, then in the next breath claim they are incompetent, how is that rational? Basically, what you want is incompetent people responsible for who can own a weapon. Does that sound logical to you? I, along with millions of Americans, am confident that I'm smarter and more well informed when it comes to my personal safety than any random government bureaucrat is. If you want to leave your life and the lives of your family in the hands of (your words) incompetent government employees, than that is a choice you are certainly entitled to. I choose not to and that's a right I'm entitled to.

You read stuff that isn't even there, and narrow other statements down to suite your opinion lol. And no, not everyone should be able to carry a weapon, or even own one and anyone that thinks so is a major idiot. You want a convicted Felon to be able to carry a concealed weapon? How 'bout to even own a gun. If you say no, then you are yapping out of both sides of your mouth, because doesn't the looneys on the hill dictate that already? Just because I think the Boys on the hill are idiots, that doesn't mean EVERY decision they make is bad/incompetent, just most of them lol.

You just seem like one of those radical NRA folks/supporters that you just can't discuss this topic with, and I WAS an NRA member, so I will give you the pleasure of the last reply or a game ow twister with my words, I am going to bail on you for this topic. I'll still support gun owners, shoot guns also, but not everyone has the right to a concealed weapons permit. The radical right of any special interest group gives the whole group a black eye. Have a good/safe new years.
