I _might_ not believe that ccw and the implimentation of it is a good thing anymore.. (in specific locations)
before someone goes and pulls the fire alarm, let me explain.
First, as a libertarian, self defense is always high on the list, as is privacy, and freedom.
But it seems to me, that one of the elements seldom discussed as far as talking about the anti's, is "mental preparedness". This is what I mean. I think the anti's are anti for a reason; they don't trust themselves with guns. They have a serious lack of self-control and think they would just get themselves into serious trouble if they had a gun on them. Like a person on a diet who would like to ban all cakes and twinkies, so they don't have to exercise self-control, the government will do it for them.
After talking to quite a bit of people here in taiwan, I'm convinced of this fact.. Some people just shouldn't own guns. Guns are not for everybody... I never use to have this line of thinking..
But I do believe that if everybody was handed a gun, and trained, there will still be people who threaten others with it and a lot of bullies who abuse guns. And unlike the current status quo, I think this number will be huge, just as the anti's predict..
The reason is, an anti, armed with a bucket of red paint, has shown that he/she has zero self-control.. They fear YOU having a gun because of projection; they feel everybody is as lacking in self-control as they are. And being without self-control, they need laws to pigpen them in... (as they can't do it themselves)
The problem seems to arise when there's a self-controlled pro gun person living amongst them.
So it seems like the only solution is to segregate... (which I think has already started to happen, at a more alarming rate and advance stage then most realize) Do you remember the Gore-Bush voting picture of the united states? The "Blue" was "Sheeple Country", and the Red was America. It seems then, that the best solution would be to study, on a per capita ~ crime rate system; which regions (blue or red) has more crime. I think the stats will show in fact, more guns less crime.
That said... I think what we must do is just get the "pro gunners" out of the blue spots, and have them go ahead and impliment anti gun laws, anti ccw laws, anti (insert every noun you can think of) and let them create the Brave New World 1984 they want to there...
As of today, I all but agree with them 100%; that if everybody had guns, there would me a lot more crimes; it would be those that otherwise wouldn't/shouldn't have guns committing the crimes..
Yuck, I agree with anti-gunnies on a few things now, I must take a bath now..
