I wish they had never been created.
You hippie thumb-biter. :P

I am an advocate of guns, though impractical for the reasons usually cited (burglars and the like). Your likely to shoot your family in the dark. But, if your being threatened on the street, the mere show of a gun usually does an effective job on the noobs menacing you.

EDIT: Love the title. xD
That situation could all to easily spin out of control, and you know it. Just showing the gun could actually instigate violence. You might underestimate someone, and when you pull out the gun he could pull out his. From there it would be easy enough for either of you to die.

Like I said, any situation when a gun is being used for protection only can still lead to deaths.
