Golly, a unicorn sighting:
Men with guns frighten her
So, basically she's disturbed. At least there was no finger-pointing.
Men with guns frighten her
I just don’t get it and I’ve given up trying. I’ve finally decided that I will never understand the mindset of those who are in love with their guns. The gun culture prevalent in America is beyond reason and those of us who do not think that guns should be allowed in public areas are losing our sense of well-being and feel that our liberties are being taken from us.
Recently in friendly Ashland, a man holding the hands of two young girls, approximately 5 to 8 years old, emerged from our public library. On his hip was a gun. I wanted to ask why he thought he needed a gun in Ashland and why he would have it on him when accompanying two young girls, but there was no way I was going to approach him. He frightened me.
Even more disturbing is that this is the second time this summer I have encountered a child, again a young girl about age 5, and a man with a gun on his hip. The other time it was in the McDonald’s on Parham near Three Chopt Road. My 4-year-old granddaughter was with me and she wanted to know if the man was going to hurt some one. How sad that she even asked this.
Are these guys doing this because they can and they dare anyone to say anything to them about it? Is this the return of the Wild West? It is a sad and disturbing commentary on our times.
