    again sorry if these are stupid questions.

    Why would does the USA have laws that say that it is Ok to have your gun concealed?

    it just seems to me that a person who has a gun concealed has a greater chance of being the shooter and not the defender?


    Stricter background checks for carrying a concealed weapon. What kind of gets lost in all of this however is people who carry illegal weapons aren't concerned about getting a permit and will carry the weapon illegally.

    nearly every single response you have is "100% not true/bullshit", which makes for very uninteresting readin. either you are 100% protected or you are 100% responsible. you can't have both.


    You commented that most people who own guns legally keep thme under their pillows which is 100% not true. And yes you can be fully protected and fully responsible at the same time.

    yes, and I meant "under their pillow" completely literally. Jesus. Obviously I meant close at hand.

    And someone can keep a gun close at hand and safe. The numbers don't lie. Just do a quick search.
  • If the numbers don't lie... then you'd be turning in your weapons and demanding others do the same.

    I don't own any weapons...I mean in the sense you are referring to...I do own knives, poisons. matches, gas, etc. which I guess could all be weapons but statistically I have a higher chance of drowning in my neighbors pool than even being injured by a gun in the US.

    The numbers that say every locked up gun is a safe gun...until it isn't.

    again, not every gun used to kill someone was bought illegally. yes we have to get illegal weapons off the street and I think there are some laws that can pass to get that done. for example, I think there should be a fine and maybe imprisonment for people who don't store their guns safely as many of those guns that people have illegally have been stolen.. I also think selling guns should be restricted to certain area and not private dealers.

    Again, nothing is going to make sure that these situations don't occur again but I do think we should try to at least try to prevent any.

    Those swimming pool stats you keep throwing in are mostly children or young men under 24. You really want to make it a red/blue issue and I don't know the stats on that but I do know plenty of liberals that are gun owners as well.
