The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So Mike, what do you think the chances are of all guns being taken away from all Americans? I would say it is approaching zero, but never zero. We'd have to reinterpret the 2d, and then have fellow Americans cooperate - that approaches zero chance too.

==================

If you accept the premise that gun ownership drives otherwise law abiding citizens to homicide, then how can you allow any to exist in the hands of private citizens?


Answering a question with a question Mike? Dodging? :) But I'll answer yours - but I have to reframe it.

Given the same level of citizenry, add more guns into the pool and there will be more accidents, and violence. I assume there is a saturation point with guns, and the increase varies with cultures, etc.

So now, answer my questions please. :)
