While that seems to make sense, look at it this way - 100% of the time, the criminal with a gun is a danger. 0.00something percent of the time, a good person with a gun becomes a danger. That other 99.99something percent of the time, I'd rather be able to defend against that 100% dangerous criminal in an effective way. > That is why there are different gun laws in the UK, > very sensibly. It's a cultural difference, to be sure. Which I suppose is why I should have stayed with my original thought to avoid the topic. Put it this way - I trust me, more than I trust an armed criminal.
