It's a valid statement, but not a valid argument. Guns make people more afraid, and frightened people with guns shoot people.

- LyndsySimon 12y agoPersonal experience tells me that carrying a firearm means that you are far more likely to attempt to avoid even relatively minor confrontation.
- glimmung 12y agoSince we are talking in general terms, I am not persuaded by an argument based on a single individual's experience.. However well it works for you, there are any number of sad, frightened little men like George Zimmerman who will shoot unarmed kids out of fear.
- LyndsySimon 12y agoYou need not take my word for it though - there are legions of armed Americans out there, and their collective crime rate is exceedingly low.
