I'll side with Chris on this one.
I live in Canada and we don't carry guns around and our crime rate is lower than the US's ... so that argument doesn't go far. We don't have metal detectors at school doors because all the kids are armed because guns are so available.
Toronto is having gun violence problems as they are turning more and more into a norther version of a large US city with vast social and economic gaps creating too many gangs.
I think if you look at stats about having guns in the home, the guns are used more for killing the spouse during a domestic argument than for self protection from a burgler.
How about the kids who find the gun under dad's bed and accidentally shoot one another .. that seems to happen quite often.
