Those people have guns because they thought that they would be safer with them, just like some of you do.

Who are you talking about? What people?

I'll bet that the guy who went on a rampage today was a law adiding citizen who fit your description right up until the moment he woke up this morning.

How much do you want to bet?

Besides, who is going to decide who can carry a gun and who can't?

Right now, to be allowed to carry a firearm in the State of Florida, a backround check is made, as well as attending firearm safety course.
So your answer is the State.

There is no way to guarantee that someone is not going to abuse the power of having a gun. I am open minded, but I highly doubt that anyone here can forumlate an argument that changes my opinion; at least not without redefining freedom or taking it out of the equation all together.

I agree with you. That's why a criminal backround check is made. The chances someone abusing the ownership of a gun rises significantly with a criminal backround. In fact, the illegal use of a firearm in florida by a Concealed Permit Holder is almost negliable.

No one is winning any argument here with a two line answer.

But the argument is being made by those who don't live in this country, and think that their enviroment is the same. Which I find amusing.
