    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, make sure your kids get a good education.

    I don't think you want to acknowledge that people successful defend their families with firearms

    You want to protect your family, work hard, and live in a town like this:


    [​IMG]
    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. Nestled between the two, you’ll find the lake with the longest geographical name, Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg. Massachusetts is a beautiful marriage of coastline and mountains, lakes and rivers; its cities are packed with culture, history, slow food, the arts, and pride in its people.

    27,360avg population
    2violent crime rate per 1,000 people
    13property crime rate per 1,000 people
    Safety has always been an important factor when searching for a new place to call home, but a wavering political system combined with an increase in violent crime has made safety the number one priority for many Americans. Because navigating through crime statistics can be a difficult and time-consuming process, we’ve done it for you.

    1. WAYLAND
    Wayland takes pride in being a progressive community and it has been very intentional about its future growth. 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.

    There's an issue here alright. What I see everyday is people making bad decisions regarding their lifestyle that effects their loved ones. What I have never seen in 73 years, outside of a combat zone, is someone having to pull a firearm to protect their family.

    How will such prevent them from being present when a mass killing is unfolding in the area?

    How will such prevent them from being present when a mentally ill individual decides to perform a school shooting?

    Strange,
    I have had to use my sidearm to defend others many times outside a War Zone.
    And I am only 52

    Well I suppose if you can't display command presence you'd better have a gun.

    No, just the same kind of command presence.

    That is a beautiful dog !
    Dogs love me.
    It would break my heart to hurt a dog.
    A Rabid dog is quite another matter.

    So is a madman with a machette or a gun.
    Your reasoning is faulty.

    Anyone who claims self-defense instances don't happen is either purposefully blinding themselves to the truth, or an antigun shill trying to convince those who don't know any better.
