Well my words don't really kill people. I think that's the difference. Words are strong, but they don't shoot bullets that physically hurt someone. Besides, how many people can you think of off the top of your head that you'd just LOOOOVEEEEE to need a permit to speak? That was a joke.... Kind of... regardless, there may not be studies done on if having a CCW makes a difference, but I still think it's a good idea to have laws in place requiring people to register themselves as gun owners. I know, I know. The BAD GUYS don't have to, so why do the good guys? Well, for the same reason the bad guys go to jail when they use their guns. It really makes you think twice before pulling that gun out. There's been a few times where i've wanted to pull my gun out and stick it in someone's face to get them off my back, but those laws keep me from doing it. You know what? I'm glad! I want to know that if I feel the need to pull my gun out, it will be used as a last resort, NOT as a shortcut. Humans love their shortcuts (see: Segway). If we see an opportunity to do something the easy way, we'll take it. Generally speaking of course.
I DON'T want everyone to have a gun. That bellcurve of intelligence scares the crap out of me. I was vacationing in NYC this past week. I went to see the statue of liberty since I had never seen it in person before. Walking around it with my girlfriend, I heard someone say AND I QUOTE, "I can't believe they got that thing up there! I mean, it's so tall! God had to have helped them physically put that thing up there! It's just like the pyramids! God must have helped them do that 500 years ago."
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. That's when this guy thought the pyramids were built. God..... Now I believe in god, but I ALSO BELIEVE IN CRANES. AND PALLET/SLAVE TECHNOLOGY. This is the kind of average intelligence we're talking about. I reaaaalllllllllyyyyy don't want that guy in the possession of a firearm.
The right for everyone to be eligible to possess? Absolutely. SHOULD everyone possess? No. That's just the way I feel about it.
