AND I don't like the meanness and arrogance in some opposed to them too. That is where all of our troubles lie. Getting mad.
There are many who post here who have guns who are regular nice people but many who are not really nice inside. I sense it in some posts and sometimes feel that some people are really frightened and very not secure without a gun.
There are many areas of the country that need guns to feel safe, but I do not believe that this place is one of them.
But if that changes, so will I.
I try very hard to truly understand everyone's point of view, but I am struggling on this one.

I have tried over the last 5 or 6 posts to say what you said so elegantly here in this post. I too get the hair on my neck up too easy and I am working hard on that. I will only say about this whole issue is we MUST try to do better to protect all of our citizens. I just cannot except that more or bigger weapons is the only answer.
