I've never seen anyone carrying a gun other than our cops and that doesn't bother me. I hear it's common in certain areas. Not so much in Wisconsin. However, I do know of people who claim to stockpile guns and ammo to prepare for the coming of the evil government, which is going to take your guns and try to and declare a dictatorship. But they will have the ammo to fight back.
You can't make this stuff up.
I was always of the notion that I was born in the wrong country. I really don't "get" this country...we don't seem to make any sense to me. If I could have done it easily and cheaply, I would have taken my family and moved to Canada long ago. In Canada, you don't have to worry that your kids will get shot in school and everyone is entitled to get treatment if they are sick. I don't fit in here...I shake my head as often as you do, LucyJ, although I'm more used to it. I'm puzzled as to how so many people can think the way they do. But, then, I probably puzzle them (shrug). I don't talk to my neighbors about these things very often.
The saddest part is that, as a society, we are getting used to nuts running into schools and killing kids. I didn't even hear much about the last two on the news and nobody was talking about it at the watercooler at work. It is old news. in my opinion...very sad statement about us.
