and the right to own a gun. I just don't agree with the public carry of guns (CCW or OC) and believe that they should be kept secure until they are needed for practice or hunting.

All guns are "legal" when they are first sold to a dealer, but lack of accountability and responsibility after the first sale places guns into the hands of criminals and those who can't legally obtain a gun. Second Amendment absolutists will never agree to any type of gun control legislation because: Freedum, My Rights, and Liberty.

The right-wing gun lobby and its marketing arm, the NRA, make the USA the gun idiocracy capital of the world.
