Universal gun ownership will not eliminate desperation.

True; it will not, but it will strengthen the victims,
thus to increase the chances of victim killing predator, as Mrs. Gonzalez did.



Quote:

Furthermore, bad guys would simply band together
in order to assure superior firepower.

U mean there 'd be no more individual robberies ?
Is that what happened after Alaska repealed all of its gun laws, DrewDad?
I thought that what happened was that crime dropped.

Whenever I hear about gun-nut-everyone-is-armed-utopia fantasies,
I wonder what the next plan would be when there is still murders, assaults, rapes, and thefts.

If the bad guy is not killed on-the-job by a successful victim,
and the b.g. is captured by police, I suggest that he be BANISHED
from the North American Continent, with sneaking back in prohibited on pain of death.

That 'd reduce recidivism.

Well, it 'd not undo crimes of the past,
but it woud render more probable that victims will kill predators
during present time crimes, thereby leaving fewer living predators
to practice their malice in the future.

Yes.

Introducing more weaponry isn't going to solve any problem
only alter the methods that criminals use. I think that the newer
methods would end up being far more violent.

The more victims kill more predators,
the fewer living predators will be around to bedevil the decent people and the safer we will all be.

You are going to rob someone in a super armed society?
Why bother telling them to freeze? They might have a gun.
Just to be safe, maybe you should shoot first and eliminate the
possibility they will defend themselves.

We KNOW that your speculations are in error,
because of 2 sources of information on these points, to wit:

1. Before gun controls were enacted, that is not what happened.
That is not part of American history.

and

2. In Vermont thay have never had any anti-gun laws.
What u described did not happen there.
What u described does not happen there.

In Alaska, thay repealed ALL of their anti-gun laws.
What u described did not happen there.
What u described does not happen there.
Q.E.D.: your speculations have been disproven by experience.

I understand an argument from self preservation David,
what you don't understand is how the same arguemtn works against your ideas about guns.

That is because I know that the argument which u have raised
is only speculative fiction, with no basis in reality, Diest.

That is a contradiction in terms, Richard.
