Befuddled Thinking

The mayor of Milwaukee thinks passing "constitutional carry" would "flood the streets with more guns, and we don't need more guns on the streets." Wow! Just where does he think all those guns will be coming from? Passing it would simply allow the law-abiding to have guns to defend themselves against all the ILLEGAL guns out there in the hands of criminals and other bad guys. It would NOT increase the number of guns out there, only the hands in which they reside. Bad guys do not register their guns, nor do they buy them legally, as a rule. Yes, there are a few fools who haven't YET committed a crime who can buy a gun legally--until they use it in a crime--but, as a rule, those with crime in mind get their guns illegally, or just steal them. So concealed carry would not significantly INCREASE the number of guns out there. It would just give the law-abiding an equal chance against the illegal guns. And soon the number of illegal guns in the hands of criminals will decrease, because the law-abiding will kill them when threatened. (Keep and Bear)
