It's provocative, not stupid. If you live in a rural area calling cops isn't an option. But I got what I wanted, a gun debate. Yay!

I could post far more 'Saved by the Gun' stories, I chose not to. All those stories you posted are essential undisciplined gun owners.

I hope you're not suggesting that only Law Enforcement should be trusted with firearms?

If you go onto someones property uninvited who decides the intent? I don't want to wait to see why someone is there before I react.

But lives of innocent people would be saved by eliminating gun-related accidents caused by members of their own family. Its a matter of whose lives you want to save. People are going to die either way.


Scenario 2 - Magically, you can take guns away from EVERYONE, good guys and badguys alike
Criminals could still kill you with knives. But on the other hand, its hard to accidently stab someone to death with a knife. So we're in the same situation. People are going to die either way - its a matter of which group you want to save.

Now you're touching on one of my favorite topics: Eugenics. We can breed certain anti-social traits out.
Mmmmmmmmmm.
