The debate over gun control, gun violence and gun rights refers repeatedly to the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights. While we keep arguing over and over on this controversial issue, no action has been taken to stop the killing of innocent people and children by a gunman. The mass shooting has been recorded in any place and anywhere in the United States. It is unequaled the number of mass domestic violence we experience nowadays in the United States. No one is safe regardless of where you are.

Guns provide even gun banning liberals a considerable measure of safely.
Criminals don't fear the police and justice system. The only thing they fear is running into an armed victim.
Be careful what you wish for. |

False equivalence.
There is no evidence whatsoever that a disarmed population is "safer" than an armed, ordered society.
OTOH, there is ample evidence that arms in private hands are used in far greater numbers in self-defense than in the commission of crimes. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
