An Argument Against: The Right to Bear Arms

Yes, this makes much more sense than the argument for the use of guns.

In the end, it's about violence. And we know up from childhood that violence causes more harm than good.

Your arguments made me thinking if I ever had the true feeling of wanting someone to injure physically or even to kill another human being while being furious. I definitely can say "No". No matter how aroused I got I never felt an urge to kill or destroy a living being.

I find it irritating that you did two separated posts. It can lead to the notion that despite you saying it's not your opinion, it will be taken as agreement as the counter argument is too "far" from reach.

Funnily enough I think that people ought to be permitted to carry guns. I think they ought to be permitted to do whatever they want. But, I do of course wish that while given the option, we would opt not to arm ourselves.

I wish I could say that I have never thought of killing anyone, but I did at a time when a sibling of mine was brutally attacked in the most cowardly of fashions - an attack that lost him an eye. But, I do not believe I would have succumb to my rage if the opportunity to act upon had of presented itself to me. I like to think, at least, that I would have mustered the strength to forgive, as I have done now.

I quite enjoy the fact that you're unable to tell which side of the argument I agree with. But, you probably won't have to worry about that anymore given the new approach I am taking with today's topic.
