Turn on your TV and go to CNN or Fox news and you'll see live a SWAT team moving into a factory where a shooter is still hiding after killing 30 people. As of the time i'm writing this, 3:08 PM, the shooter is hiding on the roof and a SWAT team is moving in. This is in Indiana, a state without concealed carrying laws.
Which is brings me to my question. I've had it about up to here with shootings of any kind. Whether it be school, work, or small gang killings (like in Compton), people should be allowed the right to really bear arms. Take Texas for instance, in Texas your allowed after getting a permit (to get that they check your "rap" sheet, your history, take ID, make you pass a test, physical and mental, etc.) to carry a concealed weapon. But unfortunaltey not every state allows this. Like Indiana. Because of this, crazy bastards like the man from that factory, the Columbine shooters, and others, are allowed to exploit the freedoms we do not have. It's easier for a criminal to get a gun than it is for a normal, law abiding citizen. All a common crook has to do is "get his hands dirty" with the "black market" and hes got a a fully automatic M16 for half the normal price.
So i ask you, should all states give there citizens the right to bear arms? If so, the other workers in that Indiana factory could have shot the shooter (also not saying the shooter is a crook getting a gun for cheap, he was an employee who got mad at his job, the "crimina" idea was an example thats very real) and saved more than half the lives lost.
I of course, vote yes.
