Okay punk, make my day. I honestly believe that we should all be able to carry a gun in a holster in plain site. In Nevada, it was legal to do so when I lived there 10 years ago. Now, here in California, we can get a conceal permit.
When I said kill a person in combat compared to up close and personal, it's because most kills are a few yards away and sometimes in a firefight, you're not sure if you actually hit anybody or your buddy next to you did. The best way to handle it is to give up the wallet and split as fast as you can, because most people can't hit the broadside of a barn, especially if you're running away. Then draw your gun and turn and kill the m effer, because he's probably going the other way. Now this will no doubt stir up more opinions.

Maybe we should let the government take everybody's guns away ad we all will be safe. Now that I think of it, let them take our knives too. Oh, maybe our forks too. Have you ever been stabbed with a fork? I haven't, but I was stabbed with a pencil once.

That's what China and Singapore do (others probably as well). They have very little violent crime. But its too late in the U.S.

They have very little violent crime because the flog you with a cane for vandalism. Imagine what they do for violent crime! If the US would adopt the same justice system violent crime would drop here too!!!

If we ran our prison system say like Turkey, we wouldn't have half the crime we do now. Our system raises the standard of living for most criminals and most live better than people on the outside. Jumpsuit, food, water and a bed! period.

People think restricting guns is an answer but unfortuately criminals will always get guns, and remember you can do almost as much damage with a baseball bat!!!

You're right - our prison system is a joke.

For your last point though, now I've heard it all. Hmmm, so those shooters in Arizona or most recently/notably in Norway would have killed "almost" as many people if they had been carrying baseball bats instead of guns? LOL, um, k.

Baseball bats? Make sure it's an aluminum bat, they don't break.
