People are robbed while at ATM's, being carjacked and women and children abducted. Such things happen in broad daylight on the street. Personally, I'm licensed to carry a loaded firearm. I've had the license for about 13 years and guess what.......I haven't had the urge to shoot a single person, even when I vehemently disagree with someone. I am armed so that in the event that the need arises to protect not only myself, but those who travel with me, I can at least attempt to do so, given the opportunity. I've been using firearms since I was eight years old, served a career in the military and can hit what I aim at. I will not give up my right to "bear arms."Just ban the carrying of loaded weapons in the street
There is no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons
The proposal would work no hardship on honest citizens
There are eighty million plus private firearms owners across the United States and as of 2015, the number of concealed carry individuals is up to 12.8 percent of them (approximately 10,240,000 individuals) and they aren't a danger to you.
If you look at the school shooters, they have one common denominator......"age." They're all young men and teens. As the male frontal-cortex is not fully formed until the age of twenty-five, what we should do is raise the purchase age for those wanting to own a firearm, to the age of twenty-five, thus maturity has come into play.
