and everyone else should have one too. ideally of course no one would have a gun, but we live in reality and not the united states of idealica. the pandoras box has been opened and the guns are out there. the only way to fight fire is with fire. the criminals who use guns do so because they are cowards. they are sure the people they are commiting crimes against dont have a gun and that they will get what they want. picture a bank robbery. criminal goes in to rob the bank, pulls gun, gets money, leaves. maybe he shoots someone, maybe he doesnt. now picture that scenario if all the tellers, managers, customers, and people walking by and driving by all had guns. do you think that criminal would rob that bank? of course not. he would be shot 20 times at least. its the same philosophy behind nuclear weapons that has kept us safe from those for decades.
