An absolutely outrageous idea that ordinary people should be allowed to
carry guns of any description. Look at the comparison between gun
related deaths i
n the UK and the US, popuation difference aside the per capita %age
speaks
for itself. Also look at the statistics of how many of them are shot
with their
own weapon (that includes cops).
Yet Canada has a large guns-to-population ratio, and
very little gun crime. There are more factors in play
in the equation. If you had a hypothetical population
where everyone was well-eduacated and well-off
money-wise, I dare say you could arm the whole
nation [Switzerland?] and have very little gun violence.
But clearly, the US is not such a place. There are
actually more guns than people in the US! And it
hasn't worked so far...

A gun owner who thinks there are too
many of them in the wrong hands...
