No one really knows how many Americans regularly carry handguns, concealed or openly. The number of concealed carry licenses doesn’t tell the tale, particularly since 29 states are now “constitutional carry states.” Unless otherwise prohibited by law, Americans need no license to carry concealed weapons in those states. As I recently noted here at AT, some 36 states allow open carry.
We do know that April was the 57th consecutive month of more than one million gun sales. It’s reasonable to believe tens of millions of Americans regularly carry, and most don’t advertise the fact. But why should anyone carry?

Commentary:
Never leave home without it! Biden’s Amerika is about as safe as any Third World country at this point.
Firearms are like parachutes; if the situation arises where you need either and you don’t have one…. you're S.O L..
"Gun laws disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man.”
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

Who else remembers, back in 2008 when that smartly dressed, well-spoken, Radical Marxist usurper and closet Muslim with questionable citizenship credentials promised us a ‘Fundamental Transformation’ of America and told us how important it was that ‘We’ had a national security force just as powerful, just as strong and just as well funded as the military? Interestingly he neglected to identify exactly who the ‘We’ actually was…. We the People or we the Government? Initially there was speculation that the Peace Corps (Oh the irony!) would become the nucleus of his proposed neo-Marxist-Brown Shirt Brigade but it now seems that the IRS, having already amassed so much data on so much of the population, is apparently considered a more viable candidate. From 2020 to the present the IRS has spent over $10M on firearms, including fully automatic long guns, tactical gear and ammunition. The IRS…!
Please note. The Second Amendment isn’t complicated, Yet, Democrat Neo-Marxists and the "Deep State" have been intent on endless further restrictions, or even overturning it completely, since at least 1934, and probably earlier than that. I’m not onboard with their goals.

Americans carry handguns because it's not safe without one.

Illegal immigrants will most likely come to the same understanding soon too, especially if the killing starts against them.
They're peaceful now but they're not fools!

1. Sadly, many Americans feel they have no choice but to carry a gun in 2024.

2. One never knows when one may be assaulted on the street or on public transportation or in a store or restaurant.

3. This was unheard of before the 1960s. Some people warned what would happen if certain changes were implemented, but their warnings were shouted down.

The illegal immigrants are almost entirely peaceful and only want to go about their business of tending to their families.

Americans definitely don't want to push them into feeling they need handguns. That will create a duplicate situation that has been created for black Americans!

Don't 'carry' Ter?

Let's just send them all up north to you, how 'bout that?

 

[Unkotare]

YOU can't carry a gun because you are nothing but a serf. Same reason YOU can't practice free speech or freedom of religion.

Canada per capita accepts more immigrants than any other country in the world.

So you'll be welcoming all the illegals in America when they get deported your way, right?

Your first mental and logic disconnect is your distorted view on illegal aliens.
They have started off by breaking the Law to enter this country and data shows that many are criminals already. Few legal immigrants are criminals; they get weeded and vetted out going through the legal process to be here.

Your second;
Many illegals already engage in crimes here and their percentage of that activity is greater than their percentage in population.
Many already possess and carry firearms, illegally, duh!
Many already are involved in killing each other. given the high percentage involved in other criminal activity.

They figured out that swatting bullets away with your bare hands only works in Superman movies. Maybe you're not there quite yet.
