I respect the right of people to own firearms. I'm pretty sure most of them have no need to parade around with them in public, however.

Is Susan Nattrass packing her trap shooting pistol everywhere she goes? Maybe she takes it shopping. How about the Canadian biathlon team? Think they're touting around their rifles everywhere they go? If Bob needs to go hunting on the weekend, does he sling that 30-06 over his shoulder and head off to Safeway with it to buy provisions?

No. Because the whole idea of carrying in public is stupid. There's no need for it. It's not the year 1985 in Beirut. We aren't in Kandahar. It's not the frontier times.
