You can't speed on the highway, but you can speed at the race track.
You can't shoot within the city but you can shoot at the range.
You can't drink and drive.
You can't drink and carry.
You have to have a permit to drive.
You have to have a permit to carry.
You have to be a certain age to drive.
You have to be a certain age to carry.
You cannot threaten people with your car.
You cannot threaten people with your gun.
There is no limit to the fuel you may carry.
Why should there be a limit to how much ammo you can load?
There is no law limiting the speed a car could operate (limited only by the speed limit of the road).
Why should there be a limit to how fast a gun can fire a round under the law?

I was threatened by a white male with a gun!
Colorado is an open carry state now and shortly after that a women in Colorado Springs called 911 to report a man walking around carrying a gun. The 911 operator told her that was legal now. A few minutes later 4 people were dead including the shooter.
A couple of days later a man walked into Planned Parenthood shot the place up leaving 3 dead including a police officer!
I know many of us are worried about the number of shooting deaths in the United States. I am worried about the amount of gun violence against women! Here in The Villages we had a Murder Suicide by a Husband against his wife.
We have a right to be worried given the amount of gun violence.
