	"Nobody should be carrying a handgun without providing very
	clear proof, to a competent authority, that he/she knows how to
	use it and has an absolute need to carry it."

To me, one of the most scary developments of this century is the
proliferation of laws seeking to abridge and deny our clearly stated
Constitutional rights, and the increasing tendency of jurists to ignore
that Supreme Law of the Land and rule in favor of popular opinion.

The government is ignoring its own laws, with the support of the
populace.  This way lies chaos.

Note to anti-handgun flamers: just for the hell of it, read through the
Bill of Rights.  [It won't take more than a few minutes.]  Then tell me
by what authority you seek to disarm me.
