Sure, people are stupid. And if they have guns its bad thing. But there are slight problems..
1) you can control only official distribution (and there is large world-wide non-official distribution aka black market)
2) police/army can be only at one place at the time and if something happens they need to move to that location (which as for example Breivik proved, can take a bit longer than you would imagine in worst dreams)
3) you never stop madman (if they wont get guns, they will get something else, there is countless way to slaughter a LOT of people at once) and crazy guys will always appear no matter what you will do
My conclusion is that, no matter what you do, bad guys can and will kill you if they will have a chance. It doesnt matter much if you are gutted out with blade or shot. You will die anyway. Only way to not die is simply to be prepared..
Im quite peaceful guy I think. I dont pick fights, I try to avoid them (best way to deal with any fight is to avoid it). Im not venturing alone in dark places. Still I was ambushed by two guys after they politely asked me \"if I have cellphone\" and I answered \"No.\" (if you dont know its common tactic of thieves to ask for your cellphone or if you can borrow it for second, so they can see what you have and how \"easy\" you will be).
That happend in broad daylight on quite frequented place in Prague. I didnt carry gun, but I had quite nasty stainless steel boxer with sharp tips. Its nice, pocketable, resonably heavy and it tears through flesh. In this case I was lucky to run into amateurs and they chickened out when I just showed it.
Obviously nobody is lucky always. So in town where I live, I was having fun in pub with girl and her friend (another girl), when two slightly drunked guys made few horny/nasty comments about them, then \"joined\" them by force and had hands where they shouldnt. After short verbal communication and following non-verbal communication via me showing boxer to them, they first sorta backoff, then figured that they are two and I am one. And Im not exactly bodybuilder.
Long story short. Girls had time to run away and unwillingly visited hospital. And those guys when they almost finished me jumped into car and vanished. Apparently it had something to do with fact that some kind soul called police and they luckily were quite close nearby.
Im glad I have good sturdy bones.. But gun would be better that time.
