WE have the Patriot Act, and Homeland security concerned about illegal immigrations and crime, national security, strip searching people getting on planes and we make pretty guns that can be concealed - huh? I always feel like I'm missing something - oh yes, I keep forgetting about the money factor and corporate greed? Len, isn’t it mind-boggling the contradictions in our society.

So much of what's happening is a no-brainer it keeps making me wonder where the heck common sense has gone, why is this even an issue? For the record I am for citizen's rights to carry own weapons and protect their homes.
