And You Are Concerned About Individuals Carrying Guns?

The real problem is weapons in the hands of government employee. It's time to take weapons away from government.

USA Today reports:

One of two hydrogen bombs that a doomed B-52 accidentally dropped on North Carolina in 1961 came perilously close to exploding, according to a recently declassified report.

The 4-megaton Mark 39 bombs -- each packing 260 times the explosive power of the weapon that decimated Hiroshima -- broke loose over Goldsboro, N.C., as the bomber went into a tailspin and crashed.

All four safety mechanisms designed to prevent accidental detonation worked properly on one bomb, which landed in a meadow, but three failed on the other, and only a low-voltage switch kept it from exploding upon impact in a field in Faro, N.C., said the 1969 report.

Had the warhead exploded, radioactive fallout could have spread over the Eastern Seaboard, hitting Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.

Government is incompetent and dangerous. The same government bureaucracy that runs the post office, can't win a war in Iraq or Afghanistan, raids the wrong houses during DEA raids, and has failed background check programs for its employees, runs the nuclear weapons program. Think about that for a minute.
