Liz, that's why we will never agree on this issue.

To you and ES, having a gun is evidence of mental illness.

To those of us who choose to exercise our second amendment rights, posession of a firearm is merely a logical extension of the boy scout motto.....Be prepared.

It's not paranoia, it's not living in fear, it's not being afraid of the guy next to us on the street, it's being prepared, nothing else.
