They Carry Guns

The negative response to guns is irrational, and powerful. The reasons given for why guns should be controlled and outlawed are that they are deadly. Correct? Betterdecisions and the rest: Are you going to outlaw alcohol? Alcohol abuse and misuse kills more men, women and children in MV accidents, (not to mention healthwise,) annually than guns have in -- how many decades? Education is often promoted as being the solution to many problems. Learn about guns, take some classes, and learn how to handle firearms safely. Being around them or seeing them doesn't trigger fear. There is nothing wrong with being "desensitized."
