I'm not completely sure, but i think Rockets post was meaning that just about ANYONE can get a firearm in the US, which I believe is the main problem.

He clearly said "be able to have concealed weapons in public", and "letting" implies it's something that isn't in current effect. I think we should be a little more strict on who CAN get firearms, but allow them in any setting. The major thing about all big-time shootings was that nobody could shoot back.

Letting everyone be able to have concealed weapons in public causes more problems than it solves
how so ? its common logic you see someone with a gun on his hip, you don't fuck with him.

It also makes people more on edge.
You see someone with a gun pissed, you're more likely to be more aggressive in handling the situation.
Its not a coincidence that there are a considerable more gun crimes in countries such as the US than countries such as the UK.

Yes, but knife crime in the UK is proportionately much more common than gun crime in here.

That's true, but the point is this due to the much much stricter gun laws in the UK, you do not see nearly as much Gun crime in the UK than the US.
I'm sure that if guns were legalised to the extent that America has in Britain, our gun crime statistics would shoot up, while our knife crime goes down.

How about every freedom loving American gets a free AK straight outta Pakistan to protect themselves! Along with the cheap AK, you also get 1776 rounds of ammo, and the included freedom to carry it around everywhere from your workplace to a daycare. It'll give America more freedoms and make it more safer! FUCK YEAH AMERICA!
