You make it sound like allowing CCW will turn civilized places into the Wild West. The Wild West is merely in movies and stories these days.

Well, hurray for the Brady Bill! You support that then?

Not all of it. Sure, you can ban certain guns...of course, they'll still make their way here anyway. Banning shit doesn't work very well in this country...alcohol, drugs, etc.

Did I feel nervous in Austin? Well its (was) the hippie stronghold, you know. There are other parts of Texas that freaked me out, for a number of reasons. But damn, that's good BBQ

I agree with UT to a point in regards to local culture, but Austin still has the same laws regarding guns as Houston or West Texas (more or less).

Pot to stop violence...shit! That would be great!

"Mr. Brown, you are ordered to smoke 4 joints a day. You will be required to have the THC content of your marijuana checked once a week..."

But then someone will want to corner the pot market, violence will be used to gain territory, and it will all go to...ummm...pot.

As long as technology continues to grow, so will the guns...and everything else. Bigger, faster, more powerful, etc.
