I'm fine with that as long as you don't use your chicken to kill other
people. But since you can't be trusted, I guess I'll be forced to carry
around my chicken in self-defence, wherever I go.

So basically, you feel it's fine to live your life having to take a gun
with you at all times, and having to be always mentally prepared to use
it. What a wonderful society to live in. I could type more, but it would
be wasting my time. The annual death by gun stats for the US says it all.
