Right?

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. TnT
Sigh.
There are Amish communities that don't have guns.
Are you sure? Which ones? Or is it that you are making assumptions based on
ignorance.
I was not aware of the
North Texas Amish.
