This is exactly what I don't understand. I don't equate freedom with the ability to carry a lethal weapon that will allow me to kill anyone with a small movement of my index finger. Likewise I don't feel like owning a gun will make me the master of my own destiny.
Honestly there really are some pretty effed up thought processes going on with some people.
Maybe I really don't understand... I'm lucky enough to live in a pretty safe country where gun crime is uncommon. If some of you guys really do have the need to carry a gun to feel safe on your streets or in your homes then you must live is some pretty horrible places. I think I'll stick with my little island off of France, thank you very much, and heaven forbid my country ever gets to the point where people feel they need to arm themselves to stay safe.
