[QUOTE="Phoenix Risen, post: 7964758, member: 623425"] Not all of us think that way... and sadly even though the mass killings are horrible, they are only a small percentage of the murders that do happen in this country. the vast majority of them take place in densely populated areas. Having as much or more experience about the US than most of the people that live here, you should already know that you should also know that the vast majority of those shootings are done with illegally attained weapons (as are a lot of the mass shootings). and to say that CCW laws do nothing to save peoples lives and prevent robberies and murders is simply false. I've personally been in the situation where having my CCW ended what could have been a fatal situation for me, i had a punk kid pull a knife on me at a gas station, I had never seen the kid before and had done nothing that could have even remotely pissed anyone off. If i hadn't been carrying that day i very well may not have been typing this right now. And in my case it wasnt a gun that was being used by the aggressor, just more proof that guns arnt the issue, people are. [/QUOTE]
