mrjerrell, The government "infringes" their ability every day.
Just because the government does it doesn't mean that it's automatically OK.
Without that infringement the dirtbags, meth heads, rapists, thieves (etc.) would have the ability to pack their weapons with no repercussions.
I don't care what kind of a weapon a "dirtbag" carries. As long as they don't actually use it in a criminal manner, if they are walking around free then they should have every Right that anyone else has.
If the "dirtbag" or whoever wants to get a gun they will. Why inhibit the ability of an innocent person to protect themselves from said "dirtbag" since the only one's that the law has any real effect on are the law-abiding?
