Suddenly, public buildings in Arizona, which have been by-and-large safe, are unsafe because armed individuals are not explicitly invited to bring loaded firearms into those places? Mr. Korwin might also ascribe to the false logic that, in the case of the tragic assault on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her constituents, things would have gone better if everyone in/around the shopping center had been armed. I disagree. If everyone had been armed, there would have been a hail of bullets flying in all directions, the likes of which aren't seen outside a Taliban ambush of a Multinational Force convoy. Things would have gone better in Tucson had the deranged gunman not been able to buy a 30-bullet clip. The NRA is not a force for freedom. It is a force for a special interest, the gun and ammo manufacturers, and they are expertso at whipping fearful people up into a frenzy.
