This is an interesting link - check out just for kicks. The countries to which I have traveled where the populace does not carry weapons have been infinitely safer. If guns were not so readily available here, perhaps fewer people would have them. I'm no expert, I just choose to distance myself from them whenever possible - difficult to do when you live in a conceal/carry locale. I would like to think that fewer people bearing arms would make our society safer, but it may be too late to find that out. I don't like that whole "guns don't kill people, people kill people" thing - it's a helluva lot easier to pull a trigger than to strangle someone. Again, I don't pretend to have an answer here. I think if our founding fathers were to rewrite the Constitution in this day and age, they may take out that "right to bear arms" stuff. I make a personal choice to not obtain firearms. Don't know if I'm safer or more vulnerable as a result. It's just a choice.
