Like it or not the "Mutually Assured Destruction" concept is what has guided nuclear policy WORLDWIDE since nukes were invented.
I don't believe it is a self fulfilling prophecy that proliferates guns. It is the real desire of people to defend themselves. Many, many studies of criminals show that they stay away from people who may be armed. They pick easier marks, marks who have chosen not to defend themselves. I have elected not to be defenseless. I have chosen to maintain the ability to defend my family and my home. Guns will never be outlawed in the US. There are too many of us who will fight to maintain this right.
