Frank, like John Milton before him, Adams knew that freedom without a moral compass was a dangerous thing. Milton said this: None can love freedom heartily, but good men; the rest love not freedom, but licence.
There are many things in our society that scare me. Idiots with concealed weapons is one of them. What frightens me more though is a government that will deny my right to live as a free man to protect me from idiots. We cannot legislate personal responsibility when it comes to firearms, automobiles, cell phones, cheeseburgers, or anything else. Government can define the legal consequences for irresponsible/unlawful use of a weapon within the confines of the 2A, and enforce those laws. Maybe it can even help provide opportunities for training. Beyond that I'm not sure it has much of a role...
