Now what is that person going to do when I come for her.


It is a matter of playing god, isnt it. From a personal point of view, an individual with a gun has much more of a chance against someone without a gun.
But it works both ways. There are enough guns in the US for every single person to have one, but only about a third of people do actually have guns. How many people have carry and conceal licenses? Probably not a large percentage.

The problem is, and we know it, is that criminals are able to get their hands on guns, they have a ready supply of arms because the laws are not strong enough to prevent guns being bought by anybody who wants them.

So your personal example does not tell the full story, but a small part of the story. The wider picture is, with more guns in society, more criminals get them and are more willing to use them, and this then goes against the law abiding.

To be honest about this issue that is very disturbing is that most of the people that want gun control seem to be black or white liberals.


It is a difference in view. COnservatives are generally people who think on the spot, if this happens, what do i want. Liberals think, how can i stop this fropm happening in the first place so i dont have to deal with it.

Also another thing that is very disturbing to me about anti-gun groups isn't that they are anti-gun. But anti-self-defense.


Which is better, say you have a 25% chance of success with self defence without a gun, against someone without a gun, or you have a 50% chance of success with a gun, against someone with a gun, yet with a gun there is a 4 times higher chance you will be attacked.

1 attack without a gun, 25% chance. Probably lose once.
4 attacks with a gun, 50% chance, probably lose twice.

Has Galleliao1663, OMDP, or Defenderofliberty ever talked about unarmed self-defense in any way as a method or replacement for the lack of gun ownership ? I have never heard them say anything on the matter.


Because sometimes it is better not to have to defend yourself.
