It's all relative, I have a Concealed carry permit, that offends some people. Truth of the matter is a significant portion of my military career involved learning how to do interesting things with explosives, that's probably much more of a danger than me with a gun. As much as I get upset with things like government and people, usually stupid people that are usually from the Northeast US or the coastal western US I accept they have a right to be stupid and I have no obligation or right to educate them on their stupidity, provided they leave me and mine alone.
As for the hysteria about guns....how many here know when and where the largest mass murder in a US school occurred? I'll tell you the perpetrator killed 44 people that day, including himself. Why did he do such a deed? Do any of you know what type of gun he used or how many rounds of ammunition were shot for him to kill 44 people? What news event quickly overshadowed Andrew Kehoe's murder of 44 people on that sunny day in May?
Andrew Kehoe killed 44 people, most of them in the public school in Bath Michigan. He didn't use any guns thus he fired no shots, he had packed the basement of the Bath Consolidated Schools with Pyrotrol, (an explosive made from reprocessed WWI munitions) and wired it into the bell system of the school. When he wasn't able to kill all the people he wanted to he drove his pick up truck up along side of one of them and caused another explosion killing himself and the School Superintendent (one of his intended targets). The reason he did this was believed to be the stress from his wife's illness and the realization he was probably going to loose his farm. He blamed this on the increased school taxes brought about by school consolidation. In reality he was a victim of a depressed agricultural economy and the simple fact he wasn't a very good farmer. Oh yes Andrew Kehoe's deeds were quickly overshadowed by and fell from the national news upon Charles Lindbergh's landing in Paris.
It is often said the 2nd amendment is the most important civil right as it provides for the defense of all other rights. This right unfortunately offends those that for whatever reason feel they have a right to control you and mandate what you can and can't do with your life or treasure.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
