Come Again?
We have no issue with the right to bear arms. However, we don’t think allowing concealed guns into public places is, or should be, part of this right. [More]Alrighty then.

This is about the least-hyperbolic explanation out there.
In addition, I see court cases resulting on how our government would implement and enforce it.
