Better a few mugger have guns than a whole country with crazy minds among other can get a killer after buying a gun a second before .
You are assuming the entire country is crazy. And maybe from your perspective we are crazy.
Look at it like this, if American gunowners were as irresponsible with their weapons as some would lead you to believe, there would be hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, of accidental shootings each year.
If Amercian gunowners were as violent and used firearms to settle every argument as some would have you believe, there would be hundreds of thousands, nay millions, of intentional shootings each year.
But to understand the whole issue, you have to understand that this country fought for its freedom and without guns, we would never have won our independance. So guns hold a lot of meaning to our citizens.
