The thing is that anyone can own a gun regardless of circumstances and with minimal check.
The right to self defence and gun ownership is very nice on philosophical level but in practice it also bring a lot of problems.
I personally believe that for most it is the matter of owning the toys while the issue of the second amendment and freedom is just nice excuse.
(sort of know what is going on in heads of people who like guns
)
Driving cars comes with injuries and death .. same is with guns .
Question is if this is good enough reason for you to continue like this.......
Question is if it helps at the end of the day when every criminal knows that every citizen might be amened...does it help to fight the crime or makes them more violent.
