[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So we always hear about how guns are the answer to keeping us safe from the "bad guys". The assumption is that if you have a gun, and the "bad guy" does not, you are safe and infallible.

Strawman.

Nobody argues that guns make you safe and infallible.

I'll bite. So if the argument isn't that more guns make us safer (because we can defend ourselves), then what is the argument? [/quote]

As long as criminals have guns (and they get them illegally, by the way), I am happy we own a gun and at least have a chance to adequately defend ourselves in the event some nut bag decides to break into our house.  
That doesn’t mean there are not risks.  Guns, nor people are infallible.  [/quote]

Gun free Georgis Tech has had 11 armed robberies on campus this past year. One in an academic building. Why? Because the moment you step off campus, you can carry. Criminals aren't stupid - they come right to where they know even the permit owning students can't carry.
