You're right.
They're right too.
I didn't realize that, many Americans lived in constant fear of their lives, that they needed to carry a gun with them at all times.
America does not represent the whole world.
However, 300 million guns are in hands of civilians in this country and of course, chances of extreme violence , armed robberies, muggings, shootouts, suicides, and accidental deaths would seem to increase with the increase in ease of access to such arms.
It's a self feeding cycle.
In such a case, it's better Americans have guns.
I thought there were other means for self defence, however, clearly if my American brethren prefer guns, then we should support it too.
I mean, the whole point of asking and creating firearm threads is validation from us right? If I had a gun, however, I wouldn't be seeking the approval or justifying it (let alone talking about it) unless I had a propaganda and I wanted all Christians to accept that.
However, it doesn't matter what I think.
Guns are awesome!
In fact here's a thread, solely for the glorification of these guns, where news reports of ''positive'' stories of gun use in self defense are posted.

Pro-gun and anti-gun people have something in common. They both dislike it when someone misuses a gun to harm an innocent victim. Pro-gun and anti-gun people differ, in that the pro-gun people think the innocent victim has a right to be armed so she doesn't become a victim in the first place.
Thus making the pro-gunners the most intellectually consistent. The anti-gunners claim to stand for the victim, but they illogically deny them the one thing that could prevent them from becoming a victim.

1still_waters made an astute statement. He's exactly right. Along with gun ownership; however, comes real responsibility. My generation was trained in the use of firearms in manifold ways. Get this, our schools used to train us to use them responsibly. You heard that right. We had gun safety courses in high school in the old days.
Scouting organizations also trained young people with respect to gun safety and issued badges for the successful completion of gun safety courses.
Of course, two parent nuclear families with traditional values and morals were the norm when I was a kid and our fathers taught us gun safety and most of my generation had firearms in high school.
I would argue that building strong families and teaching gun safety are two activities that government can engage in to bring desirable results in our society.
Unfortunately, government appears to have little interest in accomplishing those two objectives instead promoting sexual immorality and exercising government authoritarianism.

Seriously, you can't stop it gun control nuts. Even resorting to Soviet Union style totalitarianism isn't going to stop it. Change your position from forcing tyranny on the American public to building moral healthy strong families and teaching gun safety and you'll get much better results. A bonus is that you won't be despised for being tyrants.

In every state where conceal and carry weapon permit has been legal, violent crime has dropped consistently. Yet we did see what was a bad indecent of this law when Zimmerman killed Tryvon Martin. Still I think we should all be for whatever drops the crime rate. It becomes even more important in a post 911 society to defend itself from terrorism. A police offer told me he had been briefed that terrorists do see a problem where citizens are armed. This police officer said that if terrorists were to enter a busy shopping mall and coral citizens to a single area to be executed the only problem would be armed citizens. Unfortunately, I live in California where it is very hard to get a CCW permit.
