I wont even begin to enter this conversation because while I despise guns I hold equal disdain for being told how to live my life. So time for a little anecdote. I was down in the South Bay having lunch at a Chula Vista sandwich shoppe today. The place was full of plain clothes cops and I could not believe how heavily armed these guys were. They literally had arsenals strapped to every appendage of their bodies. Guns, knives, billy clubs, brass knuckles, what looked like grenades and more. I couldnt believe how heavily armored they were and had never seen anything like that.
Of course being the guy I am, I sat down next to them and chatted them up. They were gang and drug task force members who deal with what they referred to as the 1%er’s. While I was glad there were guys (and actually one gal) like that around to deal with people like that, I was very happy to return back to my McMansion filled, gridlocked Nirvana in North County.
