  • in reply to: Firearms in the U.S.: have you ever used one? #44126

    I have pointed a loaded weapon at people recently in Iraq. My step-brother has been shot by the police (he survived) and my grandfather was shot too (he also survived). Many Americans know people who have been shot, or have shot others. In certain situations, it is a strong deterrent and does provide at least a minimum sense of security. Proper gun training should be mandatory, but making gun ownership illegal is never a good thing. Now, do guns make a situation worse? Yes, if the guns are in the hands of people who are not responsible. I only can speak for myself. Guns in my hand have helped situations, and have never made a situation worse. There is data to support both anti-gun and pro-gun positions. Hope this helped.
