Underline added by me.No, that's not goid enough because everyone shouldn't have to need guns to protect themselves.
It only takes a split second for a "law-abiding gun owner" to become a "criminal," as we frequently see.
Of course. So maybe we should stop making them and start melting them down? A world without guns- the horror. Or a world with guns and with very little violence. "USA- delivering guns to the world."

Ha! Good question. Maybe it like really, really kills you deader?I would retort with, did the 1st Amendment apply to the Internet and other modern, technology advancements?
How is a gun "more deadly?"
Maybe you missed the point, intentionally or not.Underline added by me.
And I should have went left instead of right.
I should have left 2 minutes sooner.
I should have left 2 minutes later.
I shouldn't of left at all.
You can second guess it for ever. All it takes is a split second for anything to happen. Like the plane that crashed into your house killing you because you second guessed it and stayed home.
On both parts: How so? Because you say so?A world without guns means the strong have free reign to prey on the weak.
That's probably the dumbest thing I've read all week.

How did people protect themselves before guns?History says so......pick up a book.
How did people protect themselves before guns?
How do people protect themselves when they're outgunned, outsmarted, beaten on the draw, sleeping, ambushed, etc?
Alright, we've got another invalid pro-gun argument!The problem with shooting has nothing to do with guns.
They used clubs, knives, spears, rocks and teeth. That is like asking how people traveled before wheels.How did people protect themselves before guns?

No guns are a tool. Without guns thugs use knives, clubs, hammers.Alright, we've got another invalid pro-gun argument!
"Guns have nothing to do with gun violence."
You're making a good case for disarming everyone. Let's start by disarming the US militarism machine, the cops, and the "criminals." That way you won't need guns to protect yourselves from people with guns. Guns- the self-fulfilling and self-defeating prophecy.They generally dont......as I said, read History, the unarmed usually end up at the mercy of the armed.
Ban teeth!They used clubs, knives, spears, rocks and teeth. That is like asking how people traveled before wheels.
The government has always had The People outgunned.That is the reason for the 2nd, you don't have to be outgunned.
Finally! We got to a real question.The real question is how does a 90 lb grandmother in the ghetto protect herself from a 250 lb goon who decides he wants the groceries she is carrying?

We can't make better tools for self-defense than guns?No guns are a tool. Without guns thugs use knives, clubs, hammers.
Vehicles are always involved in driving while intoxicated.Are cars the cause of drunk driving?
You prefer the dystopia of violence and the threat of violence. The Gunlightenment will lead to Guntopia. Everyone can stand around pointing guns.Yeah, you get to work on that.......that'll really stop the larger stronger folks with criminal intent from harming the smaller weaker folks.
The same story throughout history long before firearms; but Im sure your idealistic utopia will work out.....everyone can stand around holding hands singing "we shall overcome".
Idealism is always the first fatality of reality.
Prevention would go a long way.Oh!
I know the answer to that!!
A 90 lb social intervention worker??

Alright! Will you acknowledge the reality that the government, that's always about to go tyrannical, has "the militia" outgunned?I prefer acknowledging reality rather than wishing on a star.
But you go on ahead with your dreams.....it does not affect the rest of us.
