Even so.. the number of guns should increase, not decrease. A well armed society is a polite one.

Judging by some of the posts round here it seems also to be an increasingly paranoid one. You all seem terrified that some total stranger is going to attack you. I suspect if I was an american I would probably carry a gun to protect myself from all the nutters that carry a gun and might use it at the least provocation.
Now if I find myself in a confrontational situation I don't have to worry the other guy might have a gun. On the other hand if he decides to attack me there is no easy option he has to take the risk I will damage him severely. An unarmed society is less risky than an armed one at least some wee ba'heid will find it difficult to get his hands on a gun to boost his insignificant sense of self.
