I think the gun makes the society more violent. I remember lots of time in my life when I was tempered and realised my mistake later. The working of gun cannot be undone by mere realization.
It depends on the hands in charged..
If handled by a robber, it's not safe..
If handled by forces, it's safer for the society ...
That might be right, the problem as I see it is that there's still "need" to use those guns because people can't behave normally..
I'd say both.
It actually makes a society safe when it's in the hands of a cop or a certified holder but then, it becomes violent when it's in the hand of a robber or kidnapper.
GUNS DONT KILL, PEOPLE DO.
Thanks to the current state of human consciousness we need guns. As long as violence is part of our nature we will have a need to defend ourselves.
The conundrum, we would need to become a docile species to make guns obsolete. We would have to lose our flight or fight instinct. In doing so I believe we would lose our drive. Our competing spirit would fade our desire to be the best and to innovate. I dont know if thats a good trade off.
Guns are for sale not to be kill,it's work? should be ,no more people dying by gun......guns only sale for shoot mosquito and croach only
No guns do not make the society safer
Living in Australia we have very strict gun rules after a mass shooting happened these strict gun rules have been very effective at reducing gun related deaths.
Americas lacks gun laws allow for more gun related crimes its simple maths 88 guns in the us to every 100 people but more than that the problem is cultural.
I think that guns could make society safer, but they would have to be regulated and restricted to only be given to people who would use them only when necessary.
The process should be strict involving multiple stages like ID checks, intelligence and mental health tests, interviews and then training how to handle a firearm and when to use it. The pass requirement for each stage should be as high as possible and successful applicants should then have to re-take the tests each year.
Growing up in a pretty rough area of England I have been a victim of crimes and known many relatives and friends who've been victims too and almost all of them would likely have been prevented if the attackers thought there was a chance we could have had a gun to defend ourselves.
Guns are preferred where immediate stabilization is required but it has a very short time effect. Leadership and Education gives a long term peace but also takes a lot of time when immediate response is required
This is based on situation because if you don't have gun in border hear we get security problems.
If robber have gun it is more dangerous
