RE: Should the United States Ban Guns?

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Yes I am aware of the logical argument. But it does not add up to me. If we think this out then everyone should run around with a gun and because everyone is then at risk of being shot by everyone else, everyone should just shoot each other, as to avoid being shot themselves.

Another way of looking at this is simply to compare countries that have no crime vs some that do. It's just much safer in countries without guns.

I think it is also perfectly fine to want guns. Many americans do and that is their right. It just comes with killings and crime, since that is the purpose of guns. What is illogical to me in the US is the outcry when kids get shot and the wish to have legal guns.

I'm not sure that necessarily follows though.
