    The Way of The Gun

    I'm sad to live in a world where a rapper can't rap about guns without an outcry and black men can't hold guns in movie posters but gun nuts can go strapped up to town hall meetings. There's something really wrong with that.

    I'm all for the second amendment, all for "open carry." But I don't think you should be allowed to carry in situations where it the mere presence of a gun could cause a panic. There are those amoung us who are concerned that President Obama will not live out his term in light of all the hate --- do you really have to carry your gun to go see the president? Really?

    How do we stop the gun nuts from causing a panic and not impede thier rights?
