i can agree with that and that is fine, currently people with permits are responsible with their guns, they dont want to lose their permits, do recreactional things with it in supervised/responsible manners, i get it, that is fine. not going to argue that point as i do understand when people enjoy hobbies they would like to do it when/where ever they would like to and not purposely try to harm anyone.
if the rules on letting everyone have guns when/where they please that stat might look a little different. like everything else, not everyone thinks the same way you do and there for just because the han gun crew is responsible with their firearms doesnt mean everyone else is/will be.
sure we will probably never know if this will be true, but i sure dont feel comfortable with some of my neighbors owning guns and walking around with them all the time
If someone wants to kill you, they're going to do it whether they have a gun or not.
If someone has a gun, it's only going to kill you if they want it to.
What makes you fear inanimate objects? Should we stop people from driving cars because they can run people down? Should we stop people from using matches because they can start forest fires?
