But keep your guns if they make you feel safe. It's this fear and paranoia that's driving these killings in the first place and there's no therapy for that. I don't see crime rates in USA getting low by simple pro or con guns policy. Someone said: "Guns don't kill people, people kill people.". So by that reasoning, no person with a weapon should be trusted.
And if someone is about to say: "then we should also bann cutlery including forks and spoons", let me just point out that any cold weapon is a far cry from any firearm. It's just making killing to easy and convenient.

Killing is never easy or convenient. Only someone who's never done it or considered it would make such an ignorant claim. Carrying is a last resort to defending one's family, household, self...at least to those of us who carry. I hope I never, ever have to draw my weapon...but I won't be the one dead out of ignorance of true reality. Truth is there are people willing to kill for much less than me...in my time in the military these truths became apparent to me out of THEIR volition. The men that wrote our constitution understood this 200 years ago...and they say we are an advanced society?
