4. The SYG laws...

have NOTHING to do with common law.

It used to be a hanging offense to shoot an unarmed person or to shoot them in the back. With SYG, not so.

I don't like Concealed gun permits. Some people don't have the sense to have a gun and those are the idiots making all the problems.

An argument says that they have to take a course and pass a test. My response is that the same is required for a driver's license. Have you driven lately? 'Nuff Said?

Personally, I own guns. I live in Missouri, in a rural area with coyotes, wild pigs and squirrels that can eat you out of house and home. I see nothing wrong with responsible gun-ownership, but that is not what the NRA is promoting. The NRA works for the gun manufacturers, not for the people. They have a vested interest in arming as many people they can, safety be damned. I wish they were as protective of the 4th amendment.
