KANSAS PASSES "SHALL-ISSUE" RIGHT-TO-CARRY!

On Thursday, Governor Sebelius' (D) veto of NRA-backed Right-to-Carry
legislation, Senate Bill 418, "The Personal and Family Protection
Act," was overridden!

"After 12 years, it took a collective, bi-partisan effort to win this
fight," NRA-ILA Executive Director Chris W. Cox declared. Kansas now
joins 38 other states that respect the Right-to-Carry and allow their
citizens to carry a firearm for personal protection.


it is truely a tragedy when neighbours and friends view people they
dont know with deep suspicion. there is a core aspect of humanity
which is destroyed in the process.

can I suggest that people watch the michael moor video "bowling over
columbine" (I think that that is what it was called)
particularly the section toward the end which compared the experiences
of two communities which live either side of the canadian border
river.
you americans have no idea how much you lose in your quality of life
by this course of action. americans who have lived in either
australia, new zealand or canada are quite vocal in wanting our
quality of life and often migrate from america as a result. the
difference is that we dont carry guns.

I'm a gun owner and user myself but we dont carry guns as a matter of
routine because of the subtle psychology that develops where the
carrier starts seeing everyone in terms of their potential threat.
superficially you'd call the attitude paranoia and many of us in the
first world worry that it will bring the demise of the USA eventually.
