The fact that there are millions of unlicensed, barely traceable guns out there scares the crap out of me. I'm just doing something about it when I strap on and leave my house.

Are you?

Whate scares a rational human being like me, is the fact that there are actually people who think that the way to reduce gun related deaths is to increase the number of guns on the streets.

The chances of you actually succesfully protecting yourself with a gun is much less than the chances of a horrible accident occurring. If you're being robbed/mugged you are much better off appearing defenseless to the attacker. If he sees you are armed then he won't think twice about harming you. All you are doing by carrying a gun is ensuring that the criminal will have to resort to violence.

You also can't say for certain how you will react emotionally to an attacker. Next thing you know we will have people pulling out their gun and shooting wildly in public at a purse snatcher.
