IMO having guns everywhere is a bad thing, but I guess there are a few good points. Pros: -People feel safer if they have a gun. -If the government gets abusive (aka fascism), people can use guns to overthrow it. -If guns are banned, then only the army, police and criminals (getting them on the black market) will have guns. Meaning you can't do much against serious criminals unless police officers are around. Cons: -Highly increases the amount of death by firearms. -A criminal is most likely to shoot an armed person when he otherwise would've let the victim live. -A criminal is most likely ready to shoot before you are (taking out your weapon when there's a gun pointing at you isn't a good idea at all) -Increased risks of accidents. I'm not pointing out everything, but IMO at least some sort of gun control should be required. |
