Reply #73: I'm sorry

I don't like guns. I think they're dangerous. My extremely irresponsible brother had 3. We managed to have the police take them away from him when he developed a bad drug problem. You're asking the wrong person. It is a miracle that one of his kids never picked up the always loaded gun and shot themselves or someone else. He was licensed to have them.

I do think people who have reason to feel threatened, or are in the public eye, should be able to protect themselves, yes. I don't think any "law abiding citizen" should be able to carry a concealed weapon. That can turn a "law-abiding citizen" into a criminal quickly. I didn't say "celebrity" - I said people in the public eye who have VERY good reason to feel threatened.

In my opinion, if you feel threatened, you too should hire a trained bodyguard. I know of too many people with guns who aren't here anymore, who probably would be if they didn't have licensed guns.

It is just my opinion. I do not like guns. I would not impose my likes or dislikes upon other people if the majority felt differently, but I am entitled to my opinion, as you are to yours.
