best pro gun argument ive ever read

[Skvez]

To play devils advocate:

Murders per capita are much higher in the US than in the UK, Germany, New Zealand, Japan.
Now either Americans are just more homicidal or easy access to guns increases the murder rate.

Guns don't 'even the playing field', rather than threaten the old lady with violence and take her handbag the mugger shoots her from behind in case she has a gun on her and then steals her handbag. The possibility that she has a gun increases her risk of being killed by an attacker.

Drunken arguments without guns usually end in a black eye and a few missing teeth where the same argument with armed individuals results in someone getting shot, which is much more often fatal.
