what will it take for peole to understand that control doesn't work. how many hundreds of years of this type of action will it take.
Thanks for the fact post Pisshead. Another fact that I didn't read on that page is that most of the situations where criminals were stopped with firearms, the firearm was not even shot. Displaying a gun can stops most crimes. But a firearm should never be pulled out unless there is full intent to use it. Also adding a laser sight to a firearm can double the intimidation factor of a firearm. Situations resolved with no violence are the best ones. That's why next to my security .45 is a huge can of pepper spray. Non-lethal force is always the best, but you should go into any encounter prepared for the worst.
