RE: If Everybody had a gun virtually nobody would use them.
But they still all have guns, right? @matrixdweller is saying no one would be violent if everyone would have guns, but gangs are incredibly violent knowing everyone they shoot at will be able to shoot back.
Guess what... Gang members already all have guns so giving a gun to everyone else should make it better not worse. If I put a gun in your hand right now would you instantly become a vicious hardened killer? Do you think gang members all started violent or maybe they lived violence and became violent.
That has nothing to do with it. Everyone having a gun is thought to prevent people from being violent. People who want to be violent, like ganf members, do not avoid violence because other people are armed.
Edit: Basically you're saying that putting a gun in a peaceful man's hand doesn't make him violent.
I'm saying that putting a gun in a peaceful man's hand does not make violent men peaceful.
