You know,, like a conversation.
Answer me this, will anything I say change your mind?
No?
So no point being specific, you have your mind set and nothing I say will change it even if you bothered to read and consider it, you have made that very clear in previous posts (and that's fine, that's your right)
That's not a conversation that's 2 people talking AT each other
and Ill be honest, I am pretty sure nothing you can say will change mine
You are a violent criminal. You Know the law abiding are not armed, because it's
Illegal.
You, violent criminal, are afraid of WHOM? Only criminals are armed, Right?
I agree with you to a certain extent, that's why a large number of guns need to be removed from the public arena, that cant be done quickly as the results would be catastrophic like you are implying, but it doesn't need to be done overnight, I can't remember how long it took NZ to do it but IF I remember right OZ did it over a 3 year period, so I don't see any reason America couldn't work out a 10 or 12-year plan to reduce not ban, maybe not even lower the number of guns just ad screening of some form, hell isn't something like that done to have a total ban on smoking (I think I might be getting my country's confused on that one)
Insert answers here.
Now, let's say ten to fifteen percent are good, upstanding citizens who have chosen to carry.
You, violent criminal, now have to evaluate the people around you if you want to rob the store. If it's around ten percent of the people who are armed and there are around twenty people milling around, meehh, might be two, might be none,, maybe ten..
Who knows?
You think that does not matter?How about I'm walking down the street and some random person shoots me because I look at them wrong and they are disgruntled and had a bad day at work
or is that just the price I have to pay for freedom?
Its GOTTA matter.
How else do you explain Why crime drops when Freedom to defend yourself is allowed?I never said it didn't. but if the choice is letting everyone have a gun and making it a little harder to get guns then I know what I prefer
(Again I do understand this would be hard to achieve with the amount of guns already in circulation, but it's also impossible to achieve if nothing is done)
How is it possible to not see that?
ohh,your answer is welcome anywhere.
Gun crime drops when there are less guns
How is it possible to not see that?
