Thinking straight.

Its been a couple weeks since the gruesome attack by a mad man ( with no political connections I might ad), shot some 18 or 19 people. And it didn't take long for the ALL KNOWING politicians to start shouting for our freedom of speech as well as our right to bear arms to be taken away.

Yes what happened in Arizona is tragic (I wonder how much attention this would have gotten if there had not been a congresswoman shot, after all it's one thing to shoot a common citizen, it's quite another to even dare to touch a member of the ALMIGHTY federal family i.e. government), but just think if she'd of been armed or the majority of the people in attendance had been carrying a weapon, for sure the carnage would have been much more limited.

Imagine if all public gatherings such as this one had a sign posted " This assembly of citizens are armed to the teeth", I assure you that a murder with killing a group of people on his mind would think twice if he knew he'd be stopped  dead in his tracks. Anyway the answer is not more restrictions on us but more freedom to protect ourselves which is what Ron Paul states in this article- Here
