This is a big topic lately. Should everybody in your country be taught to use guns so they can defend themselves? Now, it sounds dumb at first, but the side does argue that if you have a gun you won't be killed. Holding a gun at all times makes you less prone to murder, rape or any other attacks on you. There would be LESS people killing each other out of fear of dying themselves. Yet, that side assumes that everybody will be nice about it and stuff. Someone could use the gun for evil purposes. Yet, if they did do that, everyone around them could stop them with their own guns. Everyone would be trained to use them correctly It's more complicated than you might think. I personally don't want it to be mandatory or suggested at all, since it sounds like mass murder to me. I don't know if it would lower crime or anything, but I would never accept using it myself. |

Guns don't kill people. People do. Teach people how to use a gun and more deaths and injuries will happen. And what if the person who attacks you has a gun of their own? It doesn't stop you from being attacked. If you're in a gang maybe - they have gang wars after all. But the general public - no. You cannot solve violence with violence. It's all well and good saying that if someone shoot someone, other people can then shoot them. Except, people are cowards. They wouldn't shoot someone even if someone was in trouble. A few might, but the majority won't. And what if they miss? Even good shooters can miss. I'm strongly against people learning how to use guns and carrying them around. It's not the solution to anything. It'll just cause more problems. |

Yes, I have heard about this one before. I say absolutely and without a doubt no. The less guns, the better things will be. Yes if everyone had one, then people may be able to protect themselves, but I think more people would get mad over something stupid like some kids throwing a baseball through a window on accident, and the guy coming out with a freaking gun. |

That person would be arrested, though, Oreo. You see, the people who support would have strict laws for situations like that. |

I may not live in th U.S. but think about it, if everyone had guns, they could kill someone that just got on their nerves. |

Sure he would be arrested, but kids may have died. I honestly don't see how that would make things any better. I think sky explained it perfect in 6 words.

I guess I shouldn't have said "mandatory" but "suggested" It could actually be more peaceful with the guns in some ways... I'm just all pointy with it |

It could but i dont belive it would be that way. Probably you would never be safe when working in a store, when all the times a new customer arrived in, a new one could easily take out the gun and rob the place. Or maybe starting a shooting episode cuz there is several people that planned on doing the same thing. Not that it would be like this, but atleast you can think about it in a way like that. |

Ok, you want a reason why this would be a bad thing? Try this one. Lets say there are 5000 people in an amusement park. One person gets mad, pulls his gun out, and shoots him and kills him. Three people next to him all get scared, pull out their guns, and start shooting. More people die, and more people get scared and pull theirs out as well. before you know it, you have a giant gun fight between 5000 people, and most of them will most likely die. And did I mention this is an amusement park, which means kids will be dying as well! Trust me, no good will come out of it, which is why it never happened and never will. |
