Some California lawmakers(Dems) want easier access to carry concealed guns

The right to carry a concealed weapon in California is mostly reserved for those at risk of violence — jewelers, bail bondsmen and criminal prosecutors among them.

But some legislators say their job has become dangerous too. Despite objections from some law enforcement officials and even gun rights advocates, they want a law that would make it easier for them to tote firearms for protection.

The lawmakers cite the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) in Tucson and threats from constituents in California as cause for permits to carry weapons.

"I've had guys physically come up to me ready to punch me out," said Democratic state Sen. Lou Correa of Santa Ana, co-author of a new permit proposal.

Oh, special privaleges for them! If they get it, the citizens of their state should get right as well.

3. This clearly shows that gun control has not gone far from its classist and racist roots

4. Restricting any reasonable, honest citizen

from the tools they think necessary for self-defense is wrong.

Even though this bill is definitely elitist, these democratically elected Democrats simply support the fact that the right and responsibility of self-defense is beyond political persuasion.
