Wow, I couldn't even imagine thinking I needed to have a gun on me at all time like that. I will never understand that mindset....

It wasn't my claim.....the one who claims it is supposed to support it. If I tell you that Bigfoot is real, the way to prove that is to tell you to go out and find him yourself?

Also, the cowards that go to kill in these zones know there will be no resistance... Cowards.
Funny how most of them shoot themselves when the guns arrive.

No to mandatory ownership. As pro gun as I am there is no need for government to mandate ANYTHING.

No to ending "shoot everyone and take your time" zones. Simply make the premises responsible for the personal safety of the people visiting if they don't want guns. I bet you after the first person shows 97%+ chance to stop a rape was denied and a 7 figure 0ayout you will have business' clamoring to take down their no gun signs.

As for banning 'gun free zones,' that's up to the state. I'm fairly neutral on this, however, I also don't think people should be super open about carrying a gun.
So am I OK for not buying obamacare in your view? I will not even pay the fine or tax or whatever they call it.

1792 Militia Act had a mandatory gun ownership requirement. Different time and different place.

Absolutely. In my view....nor should you have to bake a cake for someone you don't want to. Would you agree with that? Would you agree with that but then boycott a business that made decisions they preferred?

It's O.K. to not bake a cake for a gay wedding but not want people to bring guns into a business?

It's stupid that my college won't even let their security guard carry a gun and he is an off-duty LEO.
