23. Gun violence does affect people. And it enables folks to kill lots of folks. Loughner comes to mind.
Edited on Tue Nov-22-11 04:42 PM by Hoyt

And, actually, I believe people who carry guns do things they might not do otherwise. The gun owning bigots where I grew up -- and even today -- reflect that.

Finally, I believe most who carry in public have a degree of violent behavior -- otherwise they would not carry a deadly weapon.
