I don't want one and neither do a substantial number of people in the country, possibly approaching a majority. Are we all relegated to second class status because we refuse to carry a gun?
No. On the flip side, if I'm a law-abiding citizen who knows how to handle and use a gun, should I be relegated to second-class status because I choose to own and carry a gun?
How about if we change Jan's statement to something like:
C) everyone [who wants to own a gun and who has not been convicted of a violent crime or diagnosed with a serious mental or emotional illness] should [be allowed to choose to] have a gun.
Can we all agree with that?
