jgoins, if you really believe what you put in that last post, you are more deluded than I previously thought. Sure, if everyone had a gun, there may be less crimes such as muggings, hold ups, etc., but with such easy access to guns more murders (plus other crimes against a person) would occur. Most crimes do not accur while people are walking down the street, but in places and at times when a victim most likely wouldn't have a gun at their hip any way.
