The Second Amendment clearly gives citizens the right to keep and bear arms. In fact, with various restrictions (or in some cases none at all), 45 states allow some form of open carry. House Bill 910, passed last session, took the existing law regarding carrying a concealed handgun and allowed those same license holders to carry openly in a belt or shoulder holster. But the new legislation had nothing to do with the criminal acts that led to the death of those brave officers. It did nothing to change Texas laws surrounding the open carry of long guns, the type of weapon that killed the Dallas officers and was seized from some rally participants. |

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects. — Robert Heinlein |
