We all know that guns can cause harm, they're everywhere darnit!
Primarily, who can own them? Who shouldn't own them? |

Do you really have any evidence to back that up? As Steven D. Levitt notes in Freakonomics, "John R. Lott, Jr. […] argues that violent crime has decreased in areas were law-abiding citizens are allowed to carry concealed weapons" (133). Furthermore, in Switzerland, every adult male has a firearm—and Switzerland is one of the safest nations in the world (131).
