Only if you give guns to idiots who are afraid to use them. Intrepid, please go cower in the corner and hope the bad guy doesn't shoot you before the police get here, who don't really have an obligation to protect you.
No need to cower. I am not a coward. Guns to idiots? Um, err...nevermind. How the hell many people with guns trying to kill people do you think there are? Must be a U.S. thing.
I thought you lived in the land of the brave and the free? You seem to be very afraid.
Being brave does not equate
to being helpless.
A wise man needs no emotions
to prepare himself for possible misfortune.
Hopefully the deaths of predatory violent criminals,
like the Manson gang.
I guess the Intrepid one believes that Ms. Tate 's party
was better off being UNARMED on the occasion in question.

I believe that everyone carrying guns is a much more dangerous
situation than the random violence that sometimes occurs.
U reveal your mindlessness.
Before around 1920, the English had no gun control laws.
Was there a " much more dangerous situation " ?
Were bullets flying as numerous as mosquitos in a swamp ?
IS THAT KNOWN HISTORY ?
( It probably was not much different in Canadia, then either.
Admittedly, I don 't know much about Canadian history. )
In Vermont, thay have NEVER Had any anti-gun laws,
and it has always been among the very safest, lowest crime states.
In Alaska, thay repealed all of their anti-gun laws a few years ago,
and there has been no news of " a much more dangerous situation ".
This DISPROVES your " belief "
which is only mindless fear.

What you advocate is dangerous and yes, foolish.
I only advocate returning to how it was in the earlier 1900s, around the 1930s.
That was not dangerous.
In the local news this past month:
Man taking gun out of his car accidentally shoots himself. Dies
Police officer cleaning his weapon accidentally shoots himself. Dies.
Shooting instructor at range accidentally shot. Dies.
I have always had this fantasy about wiring a house up with mucho loud speakers and mucho flood lights and if an entruder endtruded the air would be filled with the sounds of John Phillip Souza's Washington Post March, the flood lights would put the night aglow. And a water sprnkler stytem would fill the room with icy cold water.
Who among us can cease to ponder & to wonder
whether Man 's most primordial and fundamentally metaphysical raison d'etre,
and the innermost essence of his being,
was to invent the REVOLVER and the hollowpointed slug ?

How wud the Manson Gang have taken that,
if Sharon Tate had employed such a defense ?
( I guess it cudn 't have been worse than it actually was. )
