  why do you focus on sports instead of self defense?

    I don't have a gun, in fact I believe that having a gun for self defense may increase your possibilities of getting killed, let me explain it. Where I come from people are not trying to kill you, they are trying to steal your wallet or something, and if someone points a gun on me, i would prefer to give that person my wallet than to take out a gun. Its just my opinion and I don't want to take the risk of someone shooting me because I pulled out a gun.

      let me explain it. And let me explain pi: Pi is exactly THREE. Actually, there's no "you" or "me" explaining it. The math behind the question is complicated and most people instantly fall into the mistake of pretending it is simple. http://www.google.com/search?q=more+guns+less+crime http://www.google.com/search?q=more+guns+less+crime From Amazon's review, In retrospect, it perhaps should not have been surprising that increasing the number of civilians with guns would reduce crime rates. The possibility of armed victims reduces the expected benefits and increases the expected costs of criminal activity. Well, maybe. Maybe not.

        It is in fact a complicated question, let me say that you are focusing only in US statistics. That assumption may not work in other countries.
