In the last few months we lived in SA, my dad got so paranoid he ended up sleeping with the gun under his pillow and almost shot the next doors neighbours maid. He fired at her in the dark and luckily he missed.
If thats how you want to live then so be it, but to me I would never want to live like that ever again.

No, it is idealism. You think that the world would be a better place without weapons. And I do agree with that. The realism is, the world is not a nice place and it has weapons. Many millions of them.
After the next mass shooting occurs we can discuss it again. Do you think those victims would rather have you there with your idealism of how the world could be a better place or someone who knows how to use a weapon. Keeping in mind, those victims have a ZERO chance to start with.
Rochard, no one is talking about arming children. We are talking about guards or a few select teachers that do take basic firearm training.
