I oppose gun control. I dont carry weapons myself outside of hunting. I dont even have a pistol.
But someone telling me that I am safer without a gun... sorry but I'm crying bull.
I read every week about some guy either A) breaking into someone's house at night and killing X number of people sleeping there; B) X number of rapes have occured in such-and-such place with no suspects; or C) X number of people were killed when (fill in scenario here) because of (insert excuse here).
Really, any of those could be solved REAL quick by someone who was armed and well trained. You can site statistics all day long on how many people are shot by themselves or by their own gun being taken from them, but those people probably were sleeping during their concealed gun class or are just retarded.
Fine, guns arent for everyone, and yes, many people shouldnt be armed. But taking away from those who ARE responsible takes the pressure valve off of crime. Yes, whether or not the person is armed probably is VERY high on the assailants mind. If no one was able to carry what does he really have to worry about?
