As I have admitted before, America does have higher gun shootings a year... but look at how large the country is. You'd have to compare it to the entire continent of Europe.

I'd say that guns certainly are a big part of the reason why there is gun death.....maybe I'm stupid because of it, but I stick with it.
If it wasn't guns it's be another weapon. Your crying about guns is irrelevant, it's the people who are fed violence everyday who then in turn...act violent. and what weapon is used most in tv and the news and in movies... OMG NOES IT CANT BE TRU

Also what are you arguing?
I'm arguing that there's still a probability of a local shoot out in your town, or city, or whatever. Don't say it can't happen because it can.

That may be true but I feel so much more comfortable meeting someone who wants to kill me that has a knife than one that has a gun.

So, wouldn't you want some type of protection if someone wigged out on you?

Let me see. chances I get shot 1 to 40 000 000
Nah, I like the odds now.
Also, i don't want to shoot someone.
Chances I shoot someone now: 1 to 1 000 000 000
Also looks rather good.

In the home bats are typically better protection then guns Besides just owning a gun doesn't mean your safe or you are effective at defending yourself.

Yes, yes it will. Here's a slip into the mind of a criminal with access to illegal guns.
Criminal: "Oh, there is a new law. Now guns are banned everywhere. But I can still get my illegal gun, because I didn't have a license for it anyway. Where is my black market guy? There he is. Sir. I'd like a gun. Thank you, here's your money. Now Im set back $250, I think I will rob someone. Which will be easier because now none of them have guns, there is no possibility of me getting shot whatsoever. Hello lady, give me everything or I'll kill you."
Lady: "Oh, I cannot have a gun to defend myself with. here is everything I own, and please rape me too, I can do nothing to stop you."
Criminal: "Sweet, I get everything you own and get laid too! I think I will leave you here broken and naked in this alley while I get away with everything."

I own a bat.....for baseball...not to beat burglars.
Even if someone came to my house, it is most likely that the only weapon he/she was carrying was a knife....

They do here. Not in the big cities where it's actually needed, because either the person cant afford a legal weapon, or because the woman didnt believe in guns....previously. Lots of liberals in big cities.

Pepper spray and a whistle is generally better then shooting!

But you see that carrying a gun is obviously not the brightest idea...also if you are robbed and plan to use the gun that will inevitably lead to someone getting shot....so....stupid.
