And no, you didn't have to "register" to be in the militia...The militia was every able bodied man... And no, the purpose of the 2A was NOT to have a "ready armed militia"... |

As someone who works in the court system, they are a major part of the problem.
If a violent criminal pleads to a charge that “withholds adjudication” then they are not considered “convicted.” This is why someone who committed a crime with a weapon can “legally” buy a gun after he gets out of jail. As a pro gun/2A supporter I find this loophole a disgrace. A person who is not exonerated from a felony charge, ie convicted or takes a plea, should be prohibited from purchasing a gun. |
Just some data...
45 states are open carry. 3 of which are considered to be the safest in our Nation: Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont 21.5 Million concealed carry permits in our Nation - of which, only approximately 3 Million of which carry every day. |

The "problem" is not the gun type!! |
We have mllions of young males whose childhood entertainment has been violent video games. Also tough-guy movies where shooting people is the main action. What should we expect, when some of those young males are either not properly guided/influenced during their upbringing, or bullied, or had no Father around? It's not the gun.

Well, that's not EXACTLY true. They did exist at one time for military purposes, but as an anti-personnel round they've been pretty much prohibited since the St. Petersburg Declaration of 1868, which specifically prohibits the use of “any projectile of a weight below 400 grammes, which is either explosive or charged with fulminating or inflammable substances” (ihl database ICRC "Rule 78. The anti-personnel use of bullets which explode within the human body is prohibited.") The .223 Remington round, which is the round most of the AR-type rifles shoot, does not explode. It is actually pretty diminutive; the usual round is 55 grains which is just a bit larger in weight than the .22 LR round which tops out at 40 grains. Interestingly the .223 and the .22 LR are both the same CALIBER. But neither round "explodes". The .223 Remington does do more damage but that is due mainly to bullet velocity which causes cavitation, something the .22 LR round does not do, at least not to the same extent (though both can leave pretty impressive exit wounds). |

That's the difference, I think. The mentality behind the communities in which open carry is permitted. Most CIVILIZED people don't walk around downtown Plymouth NH sporting an AR-15 strapped to their shoulder, or a pistol on their belt holster. Yes, they can. But no, they don't. When we get to a point in time in society when people in uncivilized areas (yeah I'm talking about Florida and Texas and Illinois) can CHOOSE to NOT open carry, that'll be the time when it's perfectly fine to permit it. |
