Absolutely... guns are actually far more valuable. Guns are used to save lives WAY more than they are used to end lives. For every time a gun it used to end a life, it is used 83.33 times to save innocent lives and to stop violent crimes. 

That does not even factor in the tens of millions of lives that are spared by the fact that our armed civilian society is a very hard target for brutal dictatorships and genocide campaigns... something that anti-gun "Utopias" like Europe cannot say. More than 40 million people were brutally murdered by their own governments in Europe in the past century.

I'll take my chances with freedom.
