    Gun violence increasing is not the point being made. Gun violence DOES decrease, but never goes away.

    It's the NON-gun-related violence that SKYROCKETS. How are these people going to protect themselves if they aren't armed? Is the burglar/rapist/murderer going to wait 5, 10, 25 minutes for a cop to show up? Fuck no!

      Gun violence disappearing completely is not the point being made either. As you so rightly say, it decreases even if it doesn't go away.

      "It's the NON-gun-related violence that SKYROCKETS."
      Source please.

        Is this venture worth my while or are you just going to ignore the sources I give you? :/

          I won't ignore them, I promise. I'll dispute their validity if I think they are invalid, and I'll reply with counter-sources if I find them. I might even change my mind, if you can convince me so. I won't ignore them, though.

              Seriously though. Switzerland has a civilian militia to defend their neutrality kind of like the one referred to in the American second amendment. I have always thought that cross cultural studies between the US and Switzerland might show revealing data in the differences between the two armed societies.
