25 states allow anyone to buy a gun, strap it on, and walk down the
street with no permit of any kind: some say it's crazy. However, 4 out
of 5 US murders are committed in the other half of the country: so
who is crazy?

We should realize that a city is better off with bad law o long as they
remain fixed, then with good laws that are constantly being altered, that
the lack of learning combined with sound common sense is more helpful than
the kind of cleverness that gets out of hand, and that as a general rule,
states are better governed by the man in the street than by intellectuals....
