If we are "less free," it is due to far greater power than some armed celebrity-seeker.

Most people have guns primarily for SD, but in addition many keep them to thwart tyrrany of any sort, however unlikely. This was the stand of liberal leader Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey. By your OWN WORDS you characterize many millions of Americans "mentally unfit." Don't run for office. You won't win.
