Not if the other peson has a gun, which is the whole point so often overlooked by the anti-gun lobby.
This nation was conquered with guns, the land stolen from those who had none. Well, none in the begining, and few in the later stages. However the point remains valid.
To remove guns from society would just set the stage for another round of empire building at the constituents expense. Somebody will eventually want the real estate you have now, for whatever reason. They predict the next war will be over water recources after global warming changes the current face of the globe.
Not the ideal time to attempt to remove arms from the populace, unless you're on the other side that is. |
I take it you mean the native americans. Well, their military didn't have guns. Ours does. that's the key difference. And look, if someone invaded us, your little hand gun or shotgun isn't going to do much against an armed squad of trained soldiers with body armor. Your rifle isn't going to stop a tank. I don't think your going to take down a helicopter with a few rounds from your gun. Also, if someone tried invading us (and as long as we don't make our allies hate us), we would likely get some help from our allies.
Also, you can take out someone with a gun. It all depends on how you do it. if you go walking up loudly toward the assailant, even with a gun, your likely going to get shot, cause they're gonna see you. Hey, you simply grab something that can work as a club and wait by a door. The second they walk in, you can nail em in the face.
