‘Good guys’ with guns: A formula for more murder in America

[LuckyTheDog]

Picture a world in which most of the people you encounter — on the street or at work, in stores or classrooms, at the movies or in church — are openly carrying guns.

That’s the world Second Amendment absolutists are promoting when they repeat their mantra, “The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun,” and blame mass murder victims for not going about armed.

They’re wrong. More gun carrying is actually a formula for more murder.

To understand why, we need to look at two things — the nature of most American murders, and the nature of most American murderers.

2. Looks bogus to me

This guy always walks around with a video crew?

You might as well forget about carrying a firearm for self-defense. That requires an entirely different permit process that makes California concealed-carry look like a cake-walk. Think judges in criminal trials, high-ranking politicians, and people with enough political grease but certainly not your average Jacques.
