The gun defenders have no statistics to back up their claims. We are an industrialized country with a 3rd world violence problem.  This is about feelings, not facts.  Our country has 1.15 guns for every person and yet we are supposed to believe that more guns will make us safer.  John Donahue of Stanford found that 10 years after RTC went into affect crime went up 13-15% over that time period.  Do we want to carry guns in church? At kindergartens? The stats for violent crimes being broken up by guns are miniscule as a percentage.  The good guy with a gun is a myth. Just looked what happened at the Walmart shooting.  The cops had to stop everyone b/c no one is wearing a sign that they are the good gun.  We don't want to grab guns, we just need some straight forward changes. I am a gun owner.
