nessie, in the UK i only realistically have to worry about getting stabbed
or beaten at worst when i am out and about. in the US the reality is that
you have to defend yourself with a gun because the assailants are armed, i
understand and sympathise completely with that- and would not want to take
your gun off ya (prying it from your cold, dead etcetera)
but it is a bad situation that can only escalate. it is all you know and it
is so sad that the stakes are that high in your country. it is normal to
you- but strange to a western european.
i think it may be immoral of your government to limit your options when the
police, army, organised criminals and every other criminal is carrying on
with the arms race.
but it isn't normal to have such an overarmed population unless there is a
national war on.

>more guns = more deaths
This is not only faulty logic, but it flies in the face of the empirical
data. More guns, at most, equal more death by gunfire. More guns do not
equal more deaths period. Where�d you learn math, anyway? Go back there
and complain. Your math teacher was grossly misfeasant. Your equation is
incomplete. You failed to factor in the deaths prevented by guns. Every
year, at the barest minimum, Americans use guns to prevent crimes two
million times.
