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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
