8. It's the fear of weapons, lately appropriated by the Ammosexual

crowd to mean fear of guns. It does not fit me personally and I suspect not most advocates of gun legislation. Read my sig line.

I am, however, a bit frightened by people who are too terrified to leave their homes and walk among women with children and househusbands like me without a loaded firearm. Fear is a powerful emotion and can cloud rational thinking.

Again, we must offer sympathy and caring concern for those too frightened by life outside their front door to not go un-armed into society at large.

Elly, you are near the top of my list in positive thoughts and sympathy if you fit that description.
