30. A minor problem with your statement...
"I vote on the left but I profoundly believe in the right to carry concealed weapons for self-defense..."

You imply that save for your belief, you vote on the left. I have never seen a strong defense of 2A as anything other than a "left" philosophy. The Second Amendment, encoded as it is in the Constitution, must be one of the most radical statements ever to grace any nation's governing document; it is only in the last few generations that an attempt has been made to make 2A a "conservative" or "reactionary" philosophy. We need to push that crappola back.

Otherwise, I agree with you!
