Mr. Faschism....
You say you are against gun violence. Yet you provide no evidence whatsoever that any open carry advocate has every commited a violent gun crime. You say that 115 CCW holders have commited gun crimes, well that is 0.001% of the 6 million concealed license holders.AND so small of a number that we can not comprehend compared to the 70 million gun owners. (.00001%) Drunk drivers kill more citizens by far, yet they are still denied thier license to drive. Yes there are bad people who get guns and concealed license's just the same as there are drunks who drive without a license. None of this really address your stated goal of reducing gun violence. Why are you not working to reduce gang violence and suicide prevention, where the majority of gun violence occurs? Gun violence does not happen at Starbucks, it occurs in gangs and the tragic world of suicide!
Also, please don't insult my intelligence or that of this audience by trying to say open carry advocates are trying to compensate. How juvenille and childish. We have more important things to discuss, like stopping all of these gangs from killing each other and how to lift them out of thier plight. I am a man of dignity and respect, as you are, let us please show that in this important debate about a fundamental human right!
