I think it's in the appropriate place, Off Topic Debates. Whats wrong with a friendly debate? Usually when I see a topic and it doesn't appeal to me I just don't click on it.

Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it isn't happening. That is just one source. These are happening all the time and not being reported on. (even though each of these was, just locally, not nationally)
DoctorCosmonaut said:I never read on the news (not saying its never happened), but I've never heard of a person with a gun saving the day. You always have on the news that so and so had such and such happen, but never, ever, have I heard or read anything about anyone protecting themselves with a gun... So it doesn't sound effective, and the reasoning just isn't sound enough for me. I just don't feel comfortable with it.

The entire world are not dupes to a global conspiracy of media, with the exception of those who agree with you, are we?

Some people should never be behind the wheel, but they are out there everyday - MUCH more dangerous than the morons with legal guns... But then, who really wants to live in a total 'nanny state'?
