If you want see the irrational fear of guns on display you need to look no further than Maryland, where they are heatedly debating implementation of a Federal law that allows officers to carry guns nation wide:

Leah Barrett, executive director of the gun-control group CeaseFire Maryland Inc., said allowing officers to carry a gun anywhere at any time is "essentially dangerous."

"We have too many guns in this country and too many people carrying them," she said. "Accidents happen."

Yes, accidents do happen. But wrapping people in bubble-wrap and not letting them leave their house is not the answer.
