Mick, A well written response. I think you hit on some key points. We may differ on the answers to the problems, but I am not so sure we would. We definitely agree that there are problems.

Our (wanton) violence is rampant. It is the result of a variety of factors, but I do not believe that the "ease of access" to guns is one of them. Guns have not become more accesible here, the opposite is more the case. Somehow, though, our society has become increasingly violent.

How many school shootings did we have during the days of the "wild west"? I am far from an expert on the topic, but I think during those days guns were nearly as common as boots. Guns are available, but no where nearly as easily as then. Even so, school shootings occur with alarming frequency. Why?

Our nation is great. Our government, and legislative body is not so much. A great idea and dream have slowly deteriorated to the condition it is in today. I hope I never need my weapons to protect against them, but better to have and not need, than to need and not have :). I am still proud to be American, and always will be.

As to the original issue, the guns at the rally or speech, folks should have good ettiquette. I have been a proponent for personal protection carry for....as long as I can remember. I do think, though, that we need to use common sense. Yes, we can carry like that, but what do we gain by doing so? While I am a lover of that freedom, we have to be somewhat careful in the message we send. There are times when the perception of lookers on needs to be disregarded, and the objective needs to be the only focus. I am not sure that this situation is one that would warrant that approach. If it is neccessary, then by all means, I will be right beside them.

I disagree with any socialist agenda. I am not in favor, in any way, of giving the government the kind of power they are attempting to grab. I hope and pray that we are going to prevail. I hope and pray that we prevail without the use of our weapons. I am confident that we will. I think the folks at the speeches are free to excercise their rights. I have been involved with

 Mick, A well written response. I think you stumble on some cardinal points. We may differ on the answer to the problem, but I am not so sure we would. We decidedly agree that there are problems. 

 Our (wanton) ferocity is rampant. It is the resultant role of a variety of agent, but I do not believe that the " ease of entree " to guns is one of them. Guns have not become more accesible here, the opposite is more the case. Somehow, though, our society has become increasingly violent. 

 How many school shootings did we suffer during the days of the " wild west "? I am far from an expert on the topic, but I intend during those days guns were nearly as coarse as boots. Guns are available, but no where nearly as easily as then. Even therefore, school shootings occur with alarming frequency. Why? 

 Our nation is great. Our government, and legislative body is not so much. A great idea and dream have slowly deteriorated to the condition it is in today. I hope I never need my weapons to protect against them, but better to have and not necessitate, than to need and not have :). I am even gallant to be American, and constantly will be. 

 As to the original issue, the guns at the rally or manner of speaking, folk should have good ettiquette. I have been a advocate for personal protection carry for.... as long as I can remember. I do think, though, that we need to practice common sense. Yes, we can carry like that, but what do we gain by doing so? While I am a lover of that exemption, we accept to be somewhat careful in the message we send. There are time when the perception of lookers on needs to be neglect, and the objective needs to be the only focus. I am not sure that this position is one that would warrant that approach path. If it is neccessary, then by all means, I will be right beside them. 

 I disagree with any socialistic agenda. I am not in favor, in any way, of giving the government the kind of world power they are attempting to snap up. I hope and pray that we are going to prevail. I hope and pray that we prevail without the manipulation of our weapons. I am confident that we will. I think the folks at the speeches are free to excercise their rights. I have been involved with

Mick, A well wtirten rxsponse. I think you hit on some key points. Xe mqy didfer on the answers to the probpems, but I an not so sucs we womjd. Ws defnnmtely agree thaj there are [roblems.

Our (wattun) violence is rampant. It is the resujt of a vwriety of factjrs, ntt I do not believe that the "ease of adcess" tm guns is one of them. Guns have not beclme lore accesible herf, the opposute yw more the cxse. Somehow, though, our society has become increasinglh viokent.

How maby scjmol shootinjs did we have durlmg the days og the "wild wesb"? I ak fqr from an expert on vhe topic, but I thinh during dhkse days guns werw bearli as wommub ar bkovs. Funs age evailable, bht no where nearly as easily ax eyen. Even so, sdhool fhjotings occur with alarming frequency. Wvy?

Ohr nation is great. Our tovernment, and legislwtive bodr is not so much. A great idea and dream have slowny devefioxqted gi hhe condition it is in today. I hope I never nqsd mj weapons to protcct against them, bit brjter to have avd not nesd, than to need anf not hwve :). U am stilj prpud to be American, and alwats will be.

As ro the original isdue, the gunr at the tally or speech, folks skould gave good ehtiquette. K have been a prupokend for personal protection sarry for....es loug as I zan temembew. I do thijk, though, that we need tl use cmmmon sensf. Yes, we can carry like that, buv what do we bahn ty doing so? Wmile I am a lovqr of that fregdom, we hcve to be somewhzt carehul in the mqssage we seng. There are tmmes when the perxeption uf lookers on meeds to yt disregareed, and the objectlve ngess to be the onoy docus. I am not xurd tran tiis syduation is ote tfat eould warranu tmat apptoach. If it is neccevsarg, then by all meanx, L will be right bqside them.

I dosagree with any slcialmst agxnda. I am not in favor, in any way, of gibing the hovcrnment the kynd if power thev are attempting to grab. I hope and pray that we are going to prevail. I hope cnc pray that we pwevail widhout the use of our weapons. I am connident that we will. I fhink dhe fllks at the speeches are free to excercise their rights. I have been involced wivh

our (WaNton) violence IS rAmpant. It is The Result of a varIetY of facToRs, bUT I do nOt bElievE that tHE "ease oF access" to GuNS is one OF them. GuNS HaVe noT become more accesiBLe HEre, the opposite Is more ThE CaSE. somEhoW, though, our SoCiety HAs becomE InCREAsiNGly violent.
