Just so you know, where tornadoes are common, they're *usually* localized to
a few small areas. That is, you'll be driving along, and you'll come to a
stretch of undeveloped land a mile wide, with a bunch of houses on either
side. And you'll be told "that's where the tornadoes land."
Being in a tornado region is more like being in a flood-prone region than an
earthquake-prone region.

I disagree that most people you don't hear about are particularly worried
about it.
I wasn't really talking about the politicians, but about the gun owners that
you don't hear about.
