i thought americans nowadays left this paranoid stuff behind them. it's stuff like this that makes me very gratefull to live in a country were a gun is something for policemen and criminals.
apart from the fact that it's just plain dangerous, i just can't comprehend how you're country thinks it will be safer by having MORE guns around. a gun is meant to kill people. a gun that is not made, not sold or used will not kill. a lot of the guns that are made, sold and used WILL kill.
therefore, having more guns around, wil result in more victims. does the fact that civilians don't carry guns over here make us more vulnerable to criminals? maybe, but at least we don't have to worry about shooting eachother in the head by accident or over a small argument.and if you look at the numbers on death by guns, be it intentional or accident, i think we have the better end of the deal over here.
