You were talking with someone about the Paris train attack and the growing epidemic of gun violence in America. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>You spoke about the \u201cmurderous NRA\u201d and \u201cbloodthirsty gun nuts\u201d who were causing our schools to \u201crun red with blood.\u201d You spoke profanely of the Republicans who opposed President Obama\u2019s call for \u201csensible gun control,\u201d and you lamented the number of \u201cinbred redneck politicians\u201d who have \u201cinfiltrated Capitol Hill.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>I found myself amazed at the irony of the situation. While you were spewing your venom, I sat quietly next to you with my National Rifle Association membership card in my wallet and my 9mm pistol in its holster. You were only 12 inches away from my legally owned semiautomatic pistol. I suppose I didn\u2019t look like the \u201cbloodthirsty gun nut\u201d you thought I should be. It apparently didn\u2019t register to you that I could so cleverly disguise myself by wearing a fleece coat, Patriots hat, and khakis. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>So, to the angry liberal who sat next to me on the commuter rail: I don\u2019t hate you. I don\u2019t have any ill feelings toward you. I don\u2019t wish to do you harm. And I don\u2019t regret sitting next to you. On the contrary; I feel bad for you. It must hurt carrying that much hate inside of you.<\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>You obviously have strong opinions about this hot topic. So, let me say this as plainly as I can: If a bad guy with a gun had decided to walk onto that train and start shooting people, I would have been prepared and able to use my gun to defend my own life and the lives of everyone else on that train, including yours. Although you may hate me, a gun owner, I would risk my life for you. <\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Opinions and ideologies make a pretty thin shield against the bullets of a madman.

To begin with, you have to get a Firearms ID card which grants you limited permission to exercise your constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Then you have to go for training classes, (A good idea. You should always know what you are doing), and then get fingerprinted and photographed.<\/p>\n<p>You are also limited in the firearms you are allowed to actually own. If you look at ads for firearms, you will see a notation about it being \u201cMassachusetts compliant.\u201d (Also California, New York and a few other totalitarian states) You can only have a gun that will hold 10 rounds.
