So, I don't quite get what your POINT is Joe, that we should ALL give up carrying so that the only people out there with firearms are those wanting to rob us, assault us and kill us, that we should all just lay down and die?
That we are better off defenseless than to at least have a gun?
Actually, you are probably off being defenseless, because most crooks will just want to take your money.
So let's be clear, very few people are killed during the course of robberies or other crimes. Most murders are either domestic violence, which guns make a lot more deadly, or criminals attacking other criminals. Which again, easy access to guns makes a lot worse.
OTHER COUNTRIES HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT!!!!
This is the only country where we let average citizens have guns, and then we wonder why we have so much violent crime!
