As much as I despise anyone that owns a gun, and as much as I cannot comprehend that a completely sane person would even think about killing another human being, let alone actually doing it, I must, on a greater level, agree that more guns actually deters violence. As na example I'll just broaden the scope to entire countries. US Army had no real doubts when it came to attacking Afghanistan, because they knew that Afghanis are generally disorganized and have no real weapons to pose a threat to the Americans. So they attacked them. But, Americans believe North Korea has nuclear weapons, and that those nuclear weapons migh tbe used to defend themselves, so the Army is scared shitless of attacking Koreans. And Koreans strut around with their weapons, taunt Americans, but Americans do nothing. Because guns scare people. And they are scared that the Koreans might actually be that crazy 11th grader who has stashed away 5 rifles, 10 shotguns and 20 pistols and might take them to school. That's why it's good that all Americans have weapons. Makes them scared of each other. And fear is the best deterrent. |
Yes, give every household a nuke, that would really help :).
