Well, it has pal. It's worked for me, and it's worked for others. I'm not the only person who's ever made a sane, rational decision to defend myself with a firearm.

Sorry I miss read that. However in answer yes. I believe that the consequences far outweigh the benefits. There is no reliable and unbiased evidence that shows that guns necessarily provide better outcomes in confrontations to mitigate against all of the adverse consequences we know they are involved in. And again your particular case is proof on nothing.

This is what I thought you meant. And as you are the one who thinks they should be restricted to those “who pose no problem” I would firstly like to know how we can ever know who will never pose a problem and secondly how to ensure they don’t fall into the hands of those who will or may. As I said in my previous misconstrued reply, so far that hasn’t worked. Do you have any suggestions on how we should proceed?
