Way back when, I helped a friend for a summer who owned a security company. Alarms, video cameras etc. When a criminal sees a house which has an alarm, they will likely move on to another place to rob. Criminals are generally very lazy. We will never actually know how many break-in crimes the house with an alarm prevented, but its certainly some. Same with a big dog. How many criminals said "hell no" when they saw Brutus in the yard? Doesn't it make sense that it works much the same when it comes to guns? I mean Chicago has the strictest gun laws in the country and every weekend there are several people shot and killed.
Listen man, I wish there weren't gun either. There are solutions. You have an armed retired cop at schools. That will greatly prevent school shootings. How this hasn't been done already is nuts. How many kid's lives would have been saved if there was someone at the school with a gun? Instead, they sit back and complain while some nutcase casually walks into the school.
I guess we just view life differently.
