I live in a city with a vandalism problem. People throw benches into the river, break glass panes, and perform other similar feats just for the fun of it. Oh, and the ubiquitous designer drugs ads on every damn wall.

Well, it _was_ a problem until the government put cameras on every street corner and the police started tracking down and punishing every one of the vandals.

How would gun ownership help with this? I look out of a window at 2 AM and see a couple of guys destroying a bus stop. Should I grab my gun and start shooting at them?

The guns are more of a equalization of power. The right loves guns, but would they if they knew every liberal had twice as many guns as they probably have?

that was my point w/ guns...
