Very well articulated piece. Covers all of my thoughts on gun control.
I'm canadian, and I hate that we are unable to carry these in public. I also hate that the people around me actually think that this is one of those issues where canada is better than america (yes, the people in canada are this stupid). The government is bringing in all kinds of illegal immigrants, with a certain % of them clearly wanting to kill us while we remain completely disarmed and unable to defend ourselves from their aggression.
I've been forced to resort to a fucking pocket knife. What good that will do against a terrorist with an assault rifle, I have no idea. I'm hoping my knife throwing skills are on par with hollywood ninjas ...
Well, at least you're not in Sweden - where carrying a pocket knife is also a felony, unless it's "necessary in your line of work" (but then again, guilty until proven innocent applies here).
Then I guess you carry around a sports bag with a bat in it.
