Default Re: Gun accidents? Guns are dangrous?

[ QUOTE ]
Whether everyone carrying a gun would increase random murders elsewhere is up for debate. If everyone in society was trained properly, everyone being armed would be a good thing. However, in the reality we live in there are a lot of people that cannot control their temper -- or are just plain idiots -- but then again if everyone was armed they would learn to control it or die (if you consistently start pulling out your gun for no reason you would end up shot).

THis argument was prevalent about ten years ago when the state of florida was going to super liberal carry laws. In the ten years or whatever since florida went to super easy conceal carry, the empirical evidence is overwhelming that the argument that gunfights would spring up over minor squabbles is totally false. It's just not true.
