Guns are NOT dangerous. I have carried one at work for 13 years and never injured or killed anyone with it. If anything... BULLETS are dangerous. Again... I have never heard of a bullet jumping up and hurting or killing someone. There is ALWAYS someone on the other side of that trigger that pulls it and causes injury or death.

I never stated that people should be able to do anything they want. I stated that I agree with the right to possess a firearm (except for mentally ill or convicted felons). I believe there should be more stringent requirements to carrying a gun though. As I stated before, you should have some type of minimal qualifications, legal training and force on force training every year if you want to carry a gun. I go through that to carry my gun... I don't see why a citizen shouldn't have that same right as long as they meet the same criteria.
