"More guns in law-abiding hands mean less crime. The District of Columbia proves the point."

If you didn't have loads of guns in non law-abiding hands in the first place then there would be no need for this.

likewise you dont NEED a gun to stop someone from robbing, raping or killing you unless they have a gun -_-

Also if they didn't have guns it would stop the mass killings and drastically decrease the frequency of most crime.

I mean how are people gonna rob banks, carjack people, go on insane rampages, easily kidnap people, create ridiculous standoff situations with police or generally easily commit many crimes in a short space of time without guns?

Explosives?!

'Triacetone triperoxide' is far worse than your conventional semi-automatic.
If it involves luck, skill and money ... Im probably already playing it.

Nonfatal crimes. Don't skip information as important as that.
It is not unlikely that crimes involving firearms often lead to casualties.
Especially if both the criminal and the victim have a weapon.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Thankfully the vast majority of the degenerates who do these types of things are incapable of either making or acquiring such things, they certainly know where to get and how to use a gun though.

nothing beats shooting a squirrel off a tree with a .50 cal.
bastards think they can just come on to my trees and eat nuts, dropping crumbs everywhere, pfffft as if.

that you never know when someone is gonna break into my house. i will surely scare him away with my gun, and it sure as hell won't escalate the situation, cuz they'll be dead damn immigrants.

and people who try to take away my constitutional right is a commie. its in the constitution, like the founding fathers gave this right to use, because god told them to, and without it we wouldn't be the freest greatest nation on earth.

No what I'm saying is that there are far too many guns in America and that it's a result of the retarded gun policy over the last however many decades and that having to arm 50% of the population may be a necessary step but that it's a drastic and last ditch attempt at solving a problem that should never have existed in the first place.

The number of crimes you deter is minuscule compared to the number of deaths caused by the easy availability of guns to pretty much anyone.

Number of gun-related deaths per 100,000 population:
US:14.5
UK:0.41

Thats 35 times more. Kinda hard to argue with the facts.

Arguably, every criminal-to-be that is in a desperate situation would still perform the act.

It is also possible to say that whilst the cheer amount of gun-related crime could diminish by having 50% carry concealed weponry, the violence could just as well remain the same (less crimes, but the acts become more often violent). Once someone passes the ponr, being aware that it's a coinflip whether or the victim will be armed, I imagine that a good deal would simply take no risk and shoot preemptively.

Furthermore; your right to bear arms, shouldn't be turned into 'the necessity to bear arms'.
If it involves luck, skill and money ... Im probably already playing it.

If every second law-abiding citizen had a gun, 99% of criminals would have one too. Simply because they would be much more accessible.
Would you really want to live in a world where you have to always be ready to shoot down any suspicious person? That's not a very nice world to live in.

Unless you live in an area where crime rate is really high and murderers are rarely caught, crimials won't shoot you unless you threaten them with your own weapon. The police uses much more resources to hunt down murderers than simple robbers. A criminal who kills people is more likely to get caught and the punishment will be much harsher. Maybe the chance that you are robbed is higher if less people have a gun, but I'd be willing to accept that if the chance that I am killed is lower - even if only by a fraction of a percent.
If you can't expect much from your local police department then that's a different thing, of course.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
