Guns and Nutjobs

I have heard it all before. Every time there is a gun related crime, it's time to create more laws and take away more freedom. What if someone  nearby was carrying a concealed weapon? Isn't it likely that this weekend's carnage would have been greatly reduced. Of course there are those on the left who think anyone carrying a gun is a ape like Neanderthal who would more than likely shoot themselves or an Innocent bystander.
I have already heard the moron sheriff give his opinion. Is this guy for real? Sarah Palin? Come on dude! You have no doubt heard it. Right wing talk show hosts stirred this idiot into a frenzy and caused him to shoot and kill six people and seriously injure several others. The left is using this as political fodder to shut down opposing opinion. (their stated goal, not mine)
It is legal to carry a holstered gun in Arizona. All that is required to purchase a hand gun is proof of legal residency such as a driver's license. Thousands of responsible Arizonans carry guns both visible and concealed. They are both Democrat and Republican. Is there a history of incidence such as this past weekend? No. Why? Because almost every gun owner, 99.9999% , follow the laws regarding gun ownership and carry them responsibly. This guy was, is, a nut case. If it wasn't a gun it would have been a knife or a bomb. Bombs are outlawed but yet they still are made and used to kill people. I am so sick of the left using tragedy to point the finger and lay blame at the feet of the right. Sarah Palin had as much to do with this weekend's tragedy as you or I did. Neither her name or Rush's or Sean Hannity's name were even mentioned in this assholes writings.
Guns are made to protect. Guns are made to kill those that would otherwise kill us.
Gun ownership is a right and a responsibility that all of us without criminal records or history of violent behavior have. It's your choice to make. I would sleep better at night knowing that my friends and loved ones have that protection. Not everyone shares this sentiment.
It is better to have one and not need it than to need it and not have it.
