I think you're being overly optimistic.
Indeed. The problem with this utopian ideal is that it is
functionally
impossible, anywhere in the world, to have a community without
guns.
That being the case, the argument is fallacious at its core.
There are lots of communities in the world where no one has a
gun.
And
amazingly, no one gets shot there!
Could you give me a short list so that I can understand what
type
of
communities you are speaking of? Thanks, TnT
Howsabout the Amish?
The Amish in North Texas deer hunt with rifles, and would sure run
you
off their land with a shotgun in hand! Maybe your Amish are nicer.

Sigh.
There are Amish communities that don't have guns. I was not aware of
the
North Texas Amish.
It's probably something in the water down there! Everyone seems to run
around with a gun in the back of their PU truck, or in this case buggy.
