If the Gun is More Apt to do Harm, We're Better Off Without it

   Do we say we like guns or that we oppose them? Perhaps it is, the society that sees both reason to like them and oppose them is the nation that might benefit the most from them. Look at all the good that comes from the gun. Among other things, it offers protection, and law enforcement. To refuse to see the benefit of the gun is not wise. If we are not willing to acknowledge how the gun benefits us, we unmask ourselves, revealing that we are less than objective.
   But, the same is to be said of those who will not acknowledge guns have a negative side. They uncover the truth that they are less than objective.
   Now, what if a society both valued the gun for the good it could do, and feared it for what harm and damage it could cause? If that nation knew the values, it would seek to use them. And, if it knew the dangers, it would seek to limit them.
   Now, are we willing to acknowledge the dangers? I repeat what I wrote the other day: The same gun that can be used for you, can be used against you. When the gun falls into the hand that misuses it, it enters into the realm where it is harmful. If, by owning or possessing a gun, our gun is more apt to end up doing harm than good, we are wiser not to have one.
