Seems odd that they would ban them anywhere. I thought they always want more and more good guys packing.
I Believe it was the mayor of Cleveland who asked for this since he has to keep order. And he'll probably get a lot of flack if anything happens.Quote:

And I don't think the media made up all the shootings we're hearing about today. I just don't understand some of you. You're so utterly inflexible to do anything however small, for the good of the whole.
Bae.........you're the one who eats his raisin bran with his gun next to the bowl. Really?
This world has gotten just too crazy. Why stick to a part of the constitution that is adding to such grief in this country? Why not change the constitution, if it would lead to a better society?
Nope.Quote:
