I'm a prolifer. To me the issue is like being against a Life carpetbagger like Bob Dole, who was pro-abortion in his earlier political career but "became" pro-life to synchronize with his constituency.
Guns are nasty, toxic, heavy, if you carry one, you should carry two, one on each side, so you don't throw off your hips.
What I'm against is, anyone needing to be armed. If there are bad guys on the immediate horizon, I'd much rather have my radar out and escape them, than have to deal with the authorities after having to shoot a bad guy.
What I'm for is, leftist (don't say liberal) elites which want to apply their social engineering to your life; I'm against mushrooming quasi-governmental agencies arming their operatives--insurance agents with guns by where I work; I'm against Hillary's private security being armed, rolling into my community to make way for Her Majesty's August Presence, while the people in that community can't protect themselves, against Her favored subjects, beneficiaries of government largess.
A sidearm is a tool. Just as a hammer hanging from a loop on the belt. Nothing more. That the local constabulary insists they be concealed and a permit issued for same is deeply offensive to me.
I could walk through town with a hammer on my belt and no one would bat an eye. And no...I don't have to carry two hammers to keep from throwing off my hips. That is ridiculous.
I'll settle for an extra magazine...or two.
