Nothing would make me think that Joe publics carrying around guns would make things safer, it just dosen't make any sense, which is why I'm going to leave this particular thread now. I've repeated my reasons time and time again and argued them and people get so desperate to prove otherwise that they start actually trying to compare cigarettes to guns! I really don't think there's a lot else to say! If you want to walk around in the wild west, go right ahead, I'm just glad, personally, that I live somewhere where gun crime isn't anywhere near as bad.
I don't get it Peter. You say "it just doesn't make any sense", but this study proves that it can happen. You'll sit here and make fun of any arguments we come up with. Then, we find a study that PROVES that in at least 1 state it had no effect. And you ignore it. Why would anybody want to continue debating the subject with you if you're just going to dismiss anything we say out of hand? Why do you even come in the debate section if you're just gonna ignore whatever you disagree with?
