I think it is arrogant and naive to suggest that so many problems can be solved with a gun. I think it is arrogant and naive to suggest that if this person or that family had had a gun, their house wouldn't have been broken into, or they would not have been injured by a bad guy. The suggestion that being armed with a dangerous weapon will solve the problem of violence seems naive to me, and arrogant.
It's hard to not be prejudiced against guns when one of your loved ones is dead because he shot himself in the head when things weren't going good for him... but Pax, we're pushing this WAY off topic and i would be happy to discuss with you somewhere else.
