You should be afraid, very afraid. But that should not stop you from
going about your lives, doing things you do all the time. 

I'd much rather live here where I know that everyone with a weapon in the
mall has been checked for a proper id or a license and that if my kid
gets seperated from us, strangers will consider it their duty to help
them find us or take them to the information counter and the worst
thing they will do is buy them an ice cream cone.

You really don't understand the second amendment until you go to the mall
and see a teenage girl just out of high school carrying an M-1 carbine
two to three times her age. Soldiers are encouraged to carry their weapons
on leave, even when in street clothes.

If random Mexican men, women and children started yelling "Viva Zapata"
and blowing themselves up in crowds, you'd change your mind too.

Geoff.
