Threats are real. Far too many will kill (or steal) to get what they want. But guns and wars tend to cause more problems than they solve.
Self-defense is a right that must have strict conditions and limits. The concept of a preemptive strike must not be used as an excuse for aggression.
One should not let fear govern. More guns being carried compound the problem. |

A whole lot of nebulous hot air signifying nothing. What is your proposed 'solution' - to go defenseless?
Human nature is what it is. Providing for the defense of one's self, family, community, state and country is the American way to deal with it.
Laws that impede that basic freedom are not only ineffective for the ostensible purpose, but they are illogical and ethically obscene. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
