[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 979825, member: 17969"] CMON SOBER, you can do better than that. I am sure SLICK has read my posts and knows my positions better than you think. What is of interest, and continues to be the hardest to assertain, is the answers to my questions. Both YOU or Wiggle have failed to explain the NEED to carry a weapon with you at all times. In the case of the idiot killed at the Costco, that day probably 800 persons were in that store that day, of all those persons, ONLY Erik Scott made a decision to shop with two guns on his person. That represents 0.00125% of the population. What motivates a person to do something like this when the rest of society doesnt feel the same way? What did Erik Scott or YOU or Wiggle fear? Possibly a shootout with a giant box of cheerios on isle 4? I asked you not to run away or name call. I seriously want to understand the mindset of a gun owner who has to "carry all the time". I would like to get to the pyschology behind this thinking, but I see that you will not allow us to know that. Neither one of you wants to explain your need for guns. Its easier to just say you have a right to carry one. I happen to disagree with that. I dont believe the second amendment says such a thing. We have debated this before, and I will debate it again if someone says that the second amendment says "the rights of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed" as if this is a stand alone sentence. Cmon SOBER, tell me why YOU need a gun on your person at all times. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
