High Gun Ownership Makes Countries Less Safe, AJM Finds

[QUOTE="GIJames248"]

The strongest argument for gun ownership has always been the right for people to own property freely. That crime is higher doesn't make it wrong for people to own weapons, and that it is lower likewise doesn't make it right.

Yeah

Honestly, I'd probably say no. People have inalienable rights, but for complete nutjobs I think society would be warranted to deny them that right. I would err on the side of allowing people more freedom rather than less though, and if we are being realistics, someone who thinks trees will invade probably couldn't afford a nuclear bomb anyway.

[QUOTE="GazaAli"] Well, I was referring more to the fact that trying to generalize a niche phenomenon in a very small country to the rest of the world or to some of the biggest states in existence is just really shallow and overly simplistic.LJS9502_basic

That too

Not really, it depends what you mean by High Gun Ownership. Next to the US, Switzerland doesn't really have High Gun Ownership, considering it's less than half.
