NRA's definition of a "good guy with a gun" does not match reality, as more guns in more places leads to more idiots with guns everywhere.

According to the NRA and some Gungeoneers, the Second Amendment ensures the liberty of Americans by guaranteeing that guns are more sacrosanct than human life. Without guns, they say, we would all be at the mercy of crooks, crazies, and a tyrannical government. If that were true, how in the world do the majority of Americans (who don't own guns) manage to survive and function on a daily basis?

Bottom line? More guns in public = more death and injury, while fewer guns in public = more Americans safe from gun violence. Sounds like a no-brainer to me.
