But they very often do harm other people whether that was their intention or not..Even so, people who break into houses are looking for stuff to steal, it's very rare that they're there to intentionally harm a stranger.

because people are violent and use guns instead of words. I know that the places that have more LEGAL guns tend to have less crime. This applies both on the state and city level. Also poverty is linked to violence as well and poor people have guns and richer people have guns as was the case here.

Do you think there might be a link there?That's only true in the US. Australia has far fewer legal guns, and less crime.
Define "very often"? More often than, say, those "self defence" guns end up being used in domestic murder, suicide, or accident?But they very often do harm other people whether that was their intention or not..
BUT you do have to be careful because depending on the laws in your state act too quickly you CAN get in trouble. If the person is ONLY committing a proper crime quite a few states say let it go or YOU do time.But they very often do harm other people whether that was their intention or not..
I wonder what the crime rate is in China or India?That's only true in the US. Australia has far fewer legal guns, and less crime.
I answered that question in the last three paragraphs of my post you quoted.So what should we do? Remember, I have left resign ourselves to a similar attack in 6 months as an option.

I asked you first.
Just because there are cons to gun ownership to be solved that doesn't invalidated the pros of gun ownership. Both are necessary for an honest discussion.Define "very often"? More often than, say, those "self defence" guns end up being used in domestic murder, suicide, or accident?
That's easy to say when you still have your life. I say pay the debt with your own blood if you believe in the cause so much.Yes.
Yes.
Some would probably call you a monster and tell you the same thing I just said. Pay the debt of liberty with your own blood, pal.I have no idea what they'd think. They're all individuals.
I'm not yet sure if that's a fair price to pay.Your turn.
Geez, I didn't know I had a time limit to answer.I answered your question an hour ago. Are you now going to answer the questions I asked you?

It's a simple cost/benefit analysis: more people are better off if we_________?Just because there are cons to gun ownership to be solved that doesn't invalidated the pros of gun ownership. Both are necessary for an honest discussion.

Some of us have lives outside of CF, you know...
Reason I was wondering was that they have the 1 and 2 populations.Both seem to be quite a bit lower than ours.
Keeping the comparisons within America, as gun ownership is rising, the homicide rate is going down.
Further, most American communities are very safe, with similar rates of murder as in other Western industrialized countries.
That is to say, cultural factors and social conditions play a much larger role in homicide and crime than gun ownership.
and all the rules in the world is not going to take guns out of the hands of criminals who do not follow the rules.
It does not just involve changing the make-up of the SCOTUS to bring in a different interpretation of the law.
It is an entirely different process to scrap chunks of the constitution.
It is not even a practical solution. Rationality ought to have some deference to what is possible in the real world, otherwise it is all just a pipe dream.
