Why is it if I am against conceal and carry I am for gun control? I truly don't want people carrying a weapon and not knowing. I believe it is my right to see if the guy next to me is carrying a gun. We tried allowing everyone carrying a gun... it was called the Wild West and a lot of innocent people died.

Because if you support those things, which are by definition gun control, people will call you on it. BTW, the "Wild West" stereotype was largely a myth. There's been scholarly research done on it, based upon the existing records of the territories, and crime was generally much lower then than now. Why? Because if they'd hang your ass, you'd be much less likely to commit a crime than if they'd put you on probation. Silly how that works...

Perhaps there are gun laws for a reason. Perhaps our forefathers learned things through trial and error.

Read up on the history of gun control. Start with the Dred Scott decision, where Chief Justice Taney stated that blacks could not be citizens, because if they were citizens, they'd be able to travel freely and own guns.
Gun control has ALWAYS been about disarming minorities.

It's bullshit. You tell me about how when countries take away guns yet you demand I and the country see things your way or we're commies and yada yada yada.

We don't like being stripped of our civil liberties. And gun control advocates are not communists, they're fascists.

Aw well, you NRA people are so brainwashed that any law that protects me as a citizen yet may affect you carrying a gun in a city, is evil and a plot to take your guns away.

It's amazing....when you (self-admittedly) try to strip our rights away from us, we say "Hey, you bastard, leave our rights alone!" Go figure. I will not give up my freedoms so that you can FEEL more secure. And concealed carry has been shown to carry a correlation with decreased violent crime.
