I think it would only be a problem if the government did not have its citizens best interest in mind. From the responses I've received on this thread, it seems like most people feel like the United States government does not care at all about its people and guns are a kind of last line of defense. There are many countries in the world where military and the police are the overwhelming majority of weapon holders and these countries do not have the issues that America is facing. One question for you, if no one had a gun versus everyone having a gun, in which scenario would you feel safer?
