Re: The Rant Thread (v 1.2)
Many people believe very strongly that the 2nd Amendment ("A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.") is a blanket order that anyone and everyone can be armed with no regulation. Some even claim it's a "God-given" right, which is kinda confusing, because it's the Constitution, not the Bible, but there's a lot of confusion about that these days! Anyway, some states allow open carry, some have concealed with a permit, some have a free-for-all. My town always had open carry, and you had to get a permit to conceal, but now anyone can carry concealed. Some places don't allow guns, like the courthouse, some stores, banks etc., but you never know who's got what under their jacket. Some of the schools have armed teachers. We have very low crime. I'm not really happy about knowing some inexperienced person might open fire under a mistaken idea that something's amiss somewhere - people are generally stupid (Proof: look at the White House LOL) and there's a reason police etc., have lots of training. But it is what it is.
