wisdom...:



Of course a person with a gun and willing to use it at the right place and
time might have had a beneficial affect. And if hitler had been strangled at
birth, the second world war might not have happened. That's the benefit pf
hindsight isn't it? By your resoning, if everybody ran around with a
sub-machine gun in their back pocket, nobody would die anywhere. Right? What
a pile of crap. All you'd end up with is pockets of citizens warring with
each other.

Actually - no. Here in the US, and in other places around the world, guns
are commonplace. Yet - no warring citizens. How do you explain that? At
the same time, you have radical elements who will use guns, knives and even
airplanes to accomplish their objectives. Your point fails you on this
one.
