If you lived in a neighborhood, where you had to carry a weapon to defend yourself from the creeps in the neighborhood, people would be demanding the Police do something about it, because people should feel safe walking the streets. That is one of the primary functions of government ... safety of the populace.


But it's ok if folks think they need to carry a weapon, to protect themselves against attack by someone's animal? That's not a failure of government? It's ok that folks needed to be armed, so they feel safe?

WOW! Thanx for the heads up. I was planning to chase you tomorrow. Now it looks like I'll be washing windows instead. Enjoy your ride.
Oh, don't forget to come to a full stop at stop signs, use proper hand signals to indicate turns and ride single file. That's a good boy!
