I would like somebody to tell me why we seem to want to have everybody carrying a gun. Guns are dangerous and kill people. It is hard enough to stay alive and healthy already. Why do we want to keep people interested and excited about guns? in our cardboard cities with paper thin walls, guns kill people not even involved in gunfights between the police and gangs and others.
The problem is not just the crazies. it is really a sort of statistical thing. The more dangerous things we have in close proximity to large numbers of people, the more mishaps there will be. There is an insane rush of people to buy guns. Prices are through the roof. What is so desirable about owning one of these things anyway? You have to keep it locked up and can't use it hardly anywhere but a gun range.
The real situation for the average person is that guns are next to useless in their lives. Fear mongering and war mongering are the main things keeping the guns for everybody ideal alive. Let us grow up and recognize the reality and the total impracticality of an armed citizenry. I am not saying it should be particularly harder to get guns. I am saying we have made them practically a religion to some people.
