        Well you see the proliferation of firearms always benefits the violent criminal over the heroic defender. Always. It’s a losing race.

        Even back to the Wild West, places like Tombstone and Dodge City would come to implement gun control laws because, surprise, being mutually armed doesn’t help when the other guy has both the element of surprise and willingness to fire first.

      We have social issues… remove guns tomorrow, the people are still the same.

      Many other countries have proper gun cultures. Why can’t US do the same?

        One of the reasons is because Americans buy cheap guns for peasants while in places like the UK people buy expensive works of art like Holland & Holland rifles.
