i think having firearms is more dangerous than no having then, if nobody have firearms, you don't have to protect yourself against them, of couse here there are people who have arms but at least, i know that most of people don't have guns, so i feel secure

ROFL. Oh wow... ismael, that's really really a great thought, but it's roughly the same as saying if we didn't have criminals, then we wouldn't need police. It just ISN'T going to happen. SOMEBODY WILL have guns. So you DO have to protect yourself against them.

I would feel most secure knowing that EVERY one of my fellow citizens had a gun, because then there would never be a point at which I was the only person capable of defending me from that occasional criminal who WILL have the gun whether he's supposed to have it or not.

 

but i wonder, if a lot of people have guns, there are posibles "criminals" in each person that have them, has it somenthing to do with USA being one of the countries where there are more crimes.

Nobody is a killer until they kill someone, this it why i said "possible criminals".

 

Guns don't kill people. put a gun on a table, load it even. Leave it there and don't let anyone touch it. It doesn't kill anyone.

PEOPLE kill people, and people can use anything they can think of to do it. they can use paint spray and a lighter, knives, a metal bat a wooden bat a sharpened stick, their bare hands and teeth. So maybe this will enable people who want to be criminals an easier way to do it? Fine, let's play out that scenario.

You have twice the number of people who have guns and are capable of becoming criminals. instead of 1% of the population being criminals, you have 2% But if everyone has guns, you now have 98% of the world that has guns to DEFEND themselves from those criminals. now tell me again who has better odds?

And some people feel easily addressed, it seems. Also, they use sarcasm when they feel intimidated
