Lotsa folks get the impression the US is bad due to all the 'guns'.

I don't carry. Don't see that changing anytime soon.

Lotsa responsible gun owners out there, but you rarely ever hear of 'em because they are not causing anyone any trouble!!!

Also got some folks that are flat azz infatuated with guns, and for several different reasons, both legitimate, and not so legitimate.

Like they say, better to have it and not need it than to not have it and need it,,,, That's why I carry a screwdriver in my tool kit. Used it 3 times now in less than a year. My need for a gun in 50 years? 0.

YMMV
