Republican presidential candidates lining up for 2016 are eager to flaunt their support for the Second Amendment, whether its by speaking to pro-gun groups, talking up their own experience with guns or literally posing with firearms. But the latest issue the presidential contenders are tackling is how far they would extend gun rights and how easy it should be to carry a firearm in public.
Expanding where people can carry guns and how concealed or open has become a controversial issue between gun owners and groups attempting to put limits on their rights. Pro-gun activists argue that having people carry arms would better protect them from potential shootings, while others cite research showing more guns would lead to more violence. |

| The obvious point Ms. Lerner misses is criminals can - and demonstrably do - "carry" everywhere, regardless of state or local law. Does she feel law-abiding armed citizens of proven good character pose a greater threat to the public than armed criminals ? More likely she's wedded to the MSM's "three monkeys" version of firearm reality. |

| We'll take one step at a time, and the first is necessarily - given the political realities - very modest. We'll have to start working again to strengthen the law, and then again to strengthen the next law and again and again. Our ultimate goal, total control of handguns, is going to take time. The first problem is to slow down production and sales. Next is to get registration. The final problem is to make possession of all handguns and ammunition (with a few exceptions) totally illegal.
