Another piece of work from antis, usually with sarcasm thingy: Standing in line at Chuck E Cheez is so dangerous, one needs to pack a gun or two.
You watch, some gun cultist will come along and say that the "overwhelming majority" of those with a permit are "responsible." Actually, that is not true -- take Zimmerman as one example, he's walking around with a gun thinking he is responsible, then he sees an unarmed Black kid (you know they scary people) and he murders him for no reason other than he can. Or howsabout the dad who leaves his toter out for his 3 year old son to shoot himself. Or the yahoo who serves as a role model for impressionable kids by struting around with his lethal fashion accessory. Or the fool who has his guns stolen to be used in crime. Or another fool who cares more about assuaging his poor pitiful fears, and not society. Gun cultists are not "responsible," despite what they tell themselves because they fear losing their access to guns.
Finally, I will guarantee that the vast majority of society that doesn't need to carry a gun to venture out of their compound are far less likely to be irresponsible with a gun -- mainly because they take the responsible approach and leave the friggin things at home or on the shelves at gun stores.
Again, they will tell you the Zimmermans don't count. But they - just like Zimmerman - claim to be responsible right up until they aren't. And then when they become irresponsible, they'll claim they don't count.
Again, the 90+% of society who would never think of toting a gun in public, are clearly more responsible with respect to guns than those selfish gun cultists who won't leave home without a gun or two, or who encourage others to do so.
