You are the one diagnosing the 13 million who have carry licenses with a weird gun complex. You are the one playing psychiatrist.
90% of us say BS. You want to protect your family, have them eat more fruits and vegetables and work out.
Your statement is BS. Please show proof the 90% of America thinks that carrying is BS. Just because the 90% doesn't carry, does not prove that they are against other people getting trained and licensed to carry. Successful defensive firearm uses happen everyday.
You want to protect your family, work hard, and live in a town like this: Nearly half of Massachusetts' residents are college students, as Boston is a big college town (Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology). The glacier-carved islands and peninsulas of Nantucket, Cape Cod, and Martha’s Vineyard are popular summer destinations, as are the Berkshire Mountains on the West side of the state.

Wayland’s leaders and lawmakers have held on to its heritage while at the same time bolstering its economy. They’ve also put a lot of effort into providing their citizens with educational, cultural, and recreational opportunities, including a “musical instrument petting zoo,’ a fishing derby, and an active Dad’s group that encourages paternal involvement and connection. It’s a city with a lot of character and community, with all of the intentionality built into it, it’s no wonder they’re the safest in the state.
There must be an issue here, why does he deflect rather than answer the question ? Defending oneself from attackers with firearms is a common place everyday occurance.
