If guns make us safe, the US should be the safest place in the entire world, as we hae more guns AND more guns per capita than any place on Earth. So Why are we the most dangerous place of all industrialized nations? Why is crime with guns growing as gun ownership grows?
Countries with less guns have many many fewer gun deaths and gun crimes. \
Are we free if everyone in the US has a gun at their hip? Is that true freedom? This "Mad Max" vision of the US is not Freedom at all.

So Why are we the most dangerous place of all industrialized nations? Why is crime with guns growing as gun ownership grows? You see the simple math here. I haven't given ANY opinions. Just facts. But like Mitt said, "Our campaign isnt going to be dictated to by fact-checkers.." The more guns we own in this country, the more death with them is elevated. There is NO disputing that. Countries with less guns have many many fewer gun deaths and gun crimes. Is a school filled with Guns the definition of freedom? Are we free if everyone in the US has a gun at their hip? Is that true freedom? This "Mad Max" vision of the US is not Freedom at all. (That last part was my opinion) Why do you deny these truths?edit on 17-1-2013 by sensible1 because: (no reason given)
You clearly can't grasp the basic concept why the 2nd amendment was written in the first place. You also clearly haven't taken a look at history, and what happens when a populace is disarmed. A different approach to the problem of gun-violence would be analyzing the statistics in depth, taking a look at the correlates & deducing ways to reduce the problem; rather than punishing the millions of responsible gun owners for the actions of a couple crazies.
