@broncos it is much easier to kill someone with a gun, that much is certain. Allowing people to carry guns on the street is, problematic, to say the least. That's like saying, hey we don't need to put a warning label on microwaves because who is going to put an animal in there?
You have to think about those people who might forget to put the safety on. People who simply tuck it in their wasteband, dropping guns on the ground, a kid grabbing one while your not paying attention... the list goes on and on.

You have a lot of faith in the intelligence of people. If people were given the same privelages in the city as they do in the suburbs there would be even more violent gun related deaths.

Plus, like I said earlier, people buy these guns at gun shows with no background check. Convicted felons can get out of jail, go to one (which happen quite often mind you) and pick up a gun. It is common practice.
