The Gun Control Thread!

Though I personally would not do a such a thing, note that, per the words of the Founding Fathers, violence against this judge would be in the best interests of democracy.

They do help. Last year where I live (when I'm not in school), a guy robbed an ABC store. On the way out, he turned to fire on the cashier- but a customer in the store had a concealed carry permit and shot the criminal 5 times or so before he could hurt anyone.

Things like that happen all the time- having the gun prevents many crimes (I know someone who was about to get carjacked, showed a piece, and the thugs got back in their car and left). It can stop someone committing a robbery dead in their tracks, and if the criminal is armed it gives the option of using force against them.
