I (and seemingly stevie) totally 100% KNOW that keeping guns rare keeps people safe and makes them respect each other.
The crime statistis seem to back up Stevie's and my view - there is less gun crime in the UK than in the States per head of population.

actually, I'm NOT saying that keeping a gun makes you safe. I'm saying it makes you safer than not having one.
The main problem seems to be that those of you who favor banning guns think that if there are fewer guns, there will be less crime. Nothing could be further from the truth. Crime will not go away because you remove one weapon from the table. Crime will continue as there will always be someone willing to commit a crime. That is human nature.
What I'm trying to say is that if law abiding people who want to be as safe as possible would carry a weapon, they would be more able and more responsible as to the issues of having a gun.
