Do you think it is normal having firearms?

The idea that it is so easy for a person in your community to reach a limit of that nature makes me very concerned for completely different issues in your community than gun ownership.

 

Well, my community/country hasn't got the issue of large number of murders. Infact, even bare handed brawls are very rare here. In the first post i saw how you wanted to spin this around. Besides, certain amount of people do own a firearm here(some illegaly, some trough hardly acquired license). The rate of illegal weapon possesion isn't even that small, because of the war we went trought some 15 years ago.

Still, there aren't many firearm murders here. Something in the lines of 15-30 per year (whole country). That said, i would like to conclude that those who have illegal/legal possesion of firearms here know how to (not) use em. But i don't think that it would be wise to give the ability of weapon possesion to the whole community.

So your argument fails in multiple ways.

It wasn't an argument, it was a statement, so it can't fail as an argument. That statement was also based on YOUR statement that you wuold be afraid if everyone had guns in your community, you then tell me that the current gun owners, both illegal and legal, are quite responsible about it. Yet despite all these figures you quoted me about low mortality, you still feel that the rest of your community is not worthy to trust with gun ownership.

So my statement still stands.
