Normal, sane people don't see the value in carrying around rifles and shotguns in public. It's alarmist and completely unnecessary to do so, and invites accidents, theft, and hysteria.Baldr Odinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818934498607763309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-76874695177616645872012-10-01T21:47:24.682+02:002012-10-01T21:47:24.682+02:00"The bill was responding to public demonstrat..."The bill was responding to public demonstrations by gun owners who were showing up at coffee shops and other public places carrying long guns to demonstrate their right to bear arms."<br /><br />So criminalizing open carry wasn't about improving safety or reducing crime, it was about stopping people from demonstrating. That sounds like a 1st Amendment (Free Speech) infringement on top of the 2nd Amendment (right to keep and bear arms) infringement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-14753315707452687502012-10-01T17:07:22.429+02:002012-10-01T17:07:22.429+02:00A solution in search of a problem.

I guess if you're in favor of lawmakers wasting their time on useless endeavors, then celebrate away!
