But I see wanting guns in church, schools and bars as extremist. Permeating every nook and cranny you can find in the United States with guns, that's extremist.

You want to protect your home, that's fine.

A lot of countries do just fine without the country being the wild west. Others don't do so good with it being the wild west.

It is not right, proper or honest but that has nothing to do with it. Meiko Jun 2012 #1
