yes because dumb people are not willing to spend a hell a lot of a illegal gun, the simple fact most criminal are brain dead imbecils, who also own and have access to guns, means what you belive is not waht happens in truth
Well in south Italy plenty of dumb poor people spend money to get guns, awfully its not as simple as you say.
Much of that crime problem could be solved by requiring firearms training to firearms license seekers, and awarding licences to citizens who pass the course and a criminal background check. You could further stipulate that firearms license holders must not have been diagnosed with a mental illness, and must not be currently prescribed psychotropic medications.
The above would limit the initial number of citizens qualified to carry firearms, while correspondingly reducing the incidents of violent crime. People with knives don't attack people who might be carrying guns.
Start teaching firearm safety in schools, and encourage sport shooting and military service among the youth, and Brits could be gradually made firearm friendly.
As I said Im not against guns, I own guns myself, Im against to loose guns policies in countries where law abiding citizens with no criminal records are potential dangers cause their IQ and self control are too low.
Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Oakland, Memphis, etc..... All of our cities are warzones too, and guess what: we're cool with that....
The fact of the matter is that gun ownership strengthens the confidence of the citizenry because their own person safety is in their hands and they dont have to rely on a police force which might not respond timely.....
Again agree on that but you still see it from a logical point of view.
"I have guns so I can protect myself, other have guns so I better not attack them", it doesnt work like that with dumb emotional people, Im talking about the kind of people able to shoot someone cause they send a text to their girlfriend.
I believe european gun laws are fine the way they are now especially in britain where the first ones to buy guns would be africans and middle easterns in big cities.
Thats just my opinion of course, talking again about switzerland I fully support the overwhelming presence of guns everywhere.
