Do you own a fire extinguisher? If so, why do you own it if it cannot put out every size and type of fire?
I do not argue against that point. Your point is well taken and true. However, I think the direction society ought to go is to get rid of guns completely rather than having as many people as possible walking around armed, unless there is evidence that we might be invaded by aliens from another planet or something.....in which case I don't think our guns are going to do much good against creatures that can travel light years.

You might as well wish for everyone to have a pet unicorn if you think guns will be removed from society.
Over 300 million guns are in America. Millions of Americans would die before turning them over.
Studies show someone with a concealed carry permit is 7 times less likely to commit a violent crime than your average American. To out it frankly, you are worrying about the statistically safest group.
All you have to do is look at history to see what happens when an armed government decides a certain part of the population should be felt with.
This is exactly the reason I carry. What location would you least expect to be attacked in? Who would imagine that some idiot would attack you while you are sitting quietly and trying to eat at a Waffle House of all places. One never knows where a threat could occur.
Waffle Houses can be pretty sketchy. Those places def attract a "different" kind of person. lol Even I like eating there but there ain't any in Mohave County.

Yes....I know that will not happen either....thus the eventually that I see is not a pretty picture for Americas future. Eventually when the economy hits the next depression....the military will subdue the armed masses forcefully.

Why didn't that happen during the last depression?
The military is not capable of subduing an armed population like that would be in question. Not to mention many in the army would disobey an order like that.
Their is a reason officers pledge to uphold the constitution and not the office of the president.

It was quit clear that the guy killed rushed the gun owner and the gun owner responded appropriately.
