I don't get this thing with guns in the USA. In the UK we are fine without
guns, I'm 16 and I can live on my own without any fear of being attacked, even
though I live in an area with a high amount of crime (mostly car theft, drugs,
and assault). I don't know anyone who feels unsafe in their own home.
I think the problem is the fact that firearms are legal in the USA. If people
didn't have them in the first place there would not be a big fear of being
attacked by them, therefore people wouldn't need to carry them for defence. In
my opinion carrying a weapon does not make you a tough person, I believe it
makes you a weak one. I can see your point though if you have been involved
with a gun related crime before, it would be for peace of mind.
Anyway, there is my opinion...
Lawton.
