I agree the anti-gun phobia in the US has gotten really frightening lately. I really don't understand it considering guns were instrumental in gaining independence in this country and are still a symbol of our freedom today.
Just the other day I was out of town working construction in Kentucky. We had a new employee who was from California and wasn't used to seeing guns in public unless they were involved in some sort of crime or carried by law enforcement. Anyway, we were eating at a restaraunt and a family came in and the father was wearing a holster with a handgun in it. This new employee literally started freaking out and I had to inform him that indeed guns are perfectly legal for the a citizen to carry and he was in no danger of being shot at.
It's interesting that most who support civil libertys and civil rights don't support the fundamental civil liberty that protects all the other ones.
