I am, for the most part, in agreement with the stated concerns regarding inflaming the debate by the commission of acts lacking what has been described as common sense. Given that, when do you gentlemen believe walking armed with a rifle may become acceptable to ‘liberals’ or the general population at large? Are we so removed from our past that men displaying rifles in public are to be considered lacking common sense and a threat to their neighbors? By what authority does anyone choose my weapon of choice for defense and at what time I may do so? If I choose a long arm to accompany me on a walk is not that my right? Although I am a common sense man to my way of thinking, am I to be judged against anyone else’s measure of that trait?
Questions that need to be asked and answered. Just what restrictions are you willing to accept for you to be within the realm of exercising ‘common sense’? You may find yourself in King Bloomberg’s realm. Then what? He certainly believes he possesses no end of common sense.
With that post....you Sir just made my FF (Favorite FReepers) list! :). (I’ll add you when I get home from dialysis as cutting and pasting is tedious at best on my mobile device. Cheers!
