Fear causes just as much death and misery as fanatical religious beliefs do.Religious inquisitions, crusade's, jihad's have killed countless thousands.If you don't believe as we do you must be shunned, purged, or destroyed. Like religion, fear makes it easy to demonize someone not like you. The alien other is to to be looked upon with suspicion and distrust.Early mankind formed tribes because it was beneficial to your health to fear others during that violent time. It's 2013 now and unreasonable naked fear should not be a factor in passing laws. When cavemen like legislators pass chest thumping laws that make violent confrontation legal the country becomes less safe. So thanks to concealed carry laws and stand your ground laws, feeling threatened, if someone advances on you can give them a one way ticket to the morgue. What's next? How about he looked at me funny so I shot him laws. Or I was frightened so I started shooting laws. If you are afraid of people that don't look like you stay home in your bunker and clutch your weapon of personal destruction to your quaking chest.
