Gun prohibitionists are having fits and are pulling out all the stops (and the boilerplate rhetoric). Same old, tired arguments, different day.
1) “Allowing guns in parks will make park visitors less safe.” Hogwash. Visitors won’t even know if someone is packing a concealed handgun, unless that individual is the kind of bonehead who has to run around telling everyone he’s armed. Yet anti-gunners are dishing out inflammatory, alarmist rhetoric with nobody challenging their hysteria.

Let me recommend one small change in this excellent article:

Brent:

We discussed your distaste for the WAC on another thread.

Don't try to hijack this one.

While I agree with Brent's opinion, I do have to say that the WAC thread needs to stay in the WAC thread and not spill over into other discussions. We can disagree without being vindictive or childish.
