I think this goes back to my original post in this thread. The government needs to start doing a better job of getting these clowns and their weapons off the street if they expect people to feel safe.

People who own guns for protection need to be responsible about it as well.

You know, after reading through the ruling and everything, I believe this ruling was specifically made to say that people have the fundamental right to own guns for the 'self defense' of their own home.
It says NOTHING about carrying laws at all....although such rulings are very likely going to come.
Part of 'owning' that gun, is also owning the responsibility of being 'safe.' Too many people forget about that.
