another shooting

[Danzig]

now, we aren't the murder capital of the world...that's honduras, according to something on the radio the other day.

over the weekend, i saw that they had a rally at the alamo (normally not a site for such things, nor should it be), the rally being held by people who are pro-open carry....so, a bunch of folks were at the alamo for hours, carrying around their rifles. i'm sure it gave others pause, who were there to see history, and were no doubt wondering why others felt the need to be armed...after all, long guns are no help against ghosts of the 1830's.

at any rate, i'm a gun owner. own more than i ever thought i would, but will probably aquire more over the years. i believe in our constitution, and all the rights granted therein.

however, could we not come up with some common sense rules? so that i, a law abiding citizen who has never gotten anything more stern from a policeman than a speeding ticket (and it's been over a decade) won't have to worry about ever being disarmed?
you have to jump thru hoops to vote, to get a drivers license, medicare, medicaid, etc.
but a gun. pffft. no worries. oh, and i'm a person who has arrests, restraining orders, etc. no worries.
under a physicians care for mental issues? no worries.
