varmints several times a year. Does that mean you wouldn't come for a visit? I'm not frightened at all and I do believe that the proliferation of guns in the US makes all of us less safe. Especially handguns, assault weapons, and those who should not be allowed to possess firearms. I am against open carry and CHL laws also. It seems like EVERYTHING has become politicized these days and that is just crazy. Unless we can come together as a nation then expect our Democracy to continue to deteriorate. That doesn't mean we have to abandon our core beliefs but politics should not dictate all things.

The Second Amendment is used to justify a lot of things that State governments allow in terms of guns. In reality is just mostly pandering to those who use the debate on guns to get elected these days.
