“I support, as a basic liberty, Americans’ right to own guns. I believe the presence of firearms creates a deterrent to state overreach. At the same time, I do not want any American bearing loaded firearms in public, as I believe that freedom from fear that someone will shoot me or my children is also a basic right. To those who object, I offer simple logic: The more loaded guns there are in public, the more bullets will fly.” – Bob Wietin (not shown) in a letter to the editor [via latimes.com]
