RE: An unarmed person will use the reason first
Coming from two countries where guns a scarce and regulated... I find the idea of liberalised ownership of guns to be quite disconcerting. I definitely agree that reason and talking is always going to be a much better alternative... and that is helped by keeping the tools of violence a little bit further away!

Most legal owners in the US will tell you they never want to use their weapon at all. Being reasonable is the first step in gun safety but when life comes into the equation talking down goes out the window.

Yes, I'm not really making a comment on other countries...only the ones in which I have lived long periods of time and in which there is already an established culture of non-ownership (Australia and Netherlands). All countries come to it from different histories and different ingrained cultures... Things can't be too easily compared and transplanted... Especially not overnight!
Oh I know my friend. As are my comments I can only speak for my experience in the US and in some other minor nations. That's why conversing is so important brother. Different views should always be discussed with respect as I believe we have for our friends in the community.

It's a different gun culture of non-guns in Canada too. And statistically the majority of imported and unregistered guns are in the hands of Gangs protecting their turf from rivals. The much touted long gun or rifle registry ended up costing billions in tax payer money did not stop any unregistered weapons used in a crime.
I had a stranger break into my basement he had a kitchen knife, I have a Katana. He said, "I'm sorry, I must have the wrong house."
I said, "I got a real knife so 'F__k off!'." The police picked him up 20 minutes later a few blocks away. Case closed.
It was probably hard to run with his pants soaked. Well done pirate sis!
