I doesn't take guns to make the streets unsafe; glass bottles or bricks can do that. Or fists. Do those make you feel unsafe?[/QUOTE]Well, I would feel more unsafe if anyone could get a gun, yes. A gun can kill you, while a brick or a broken bottle can hurt you, but probably not kill you. Probably... And like Neb said, it's easier to run away from a brick and a broken bottle. AND you can see if a person is carrying it.

I know somebody on the thread said that you need a permit to 'carry' a gun. But what's stopping other people from carrying a gun also? I know, I know, criminals can then carry guns too, and they'd get guns no matter how many laws would be written. But it would still be better if people would actually need a permit to get a gun, and that it would be made sure that the person buying a gun isn't a person that gets upset easily, etc.
