Why need guns?
"A gun is a tool, Marian. No better, no worse than any other tool. An axe, a shovel, or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it."

A gun here would have done more damage than this.

Dr.JK,
Are you of the opinion that the toll booth operator resign to his fate and get beaten up every time some idiot loses his cool?

Dear dr. jaykumar,
How can you predict the future?
How did you reach this conclusion?
RKBA is not just about having a license its also about defence and against tyranny.

You want more gun control? Use both hands!

Re: Why need guns?
There's so many variables here. Its difficult to reach a right or wrong answer. I'll explain from a NZ perspective. NZ has one of the world's highest ratios of firearms ownership and also a very low rate of firearms related crimes. This boils down to a number of factors some of which are:
Strict protocol observed before a license is issued. They wont make it difficult for one to get a licence but display a frivolous attitude and you're doomed to play with airsoft.
High level of acceptance and education on firearms -they're seen as tools rather than a secret desirable status symbol (as in quite a few parts of India)
Strict regulation of handguns. It's almost impossible to own one. If you are part of a pistol club and have the endorsement to own one you must only carry it from home to club and back and then too always in a case with magazine unloaded and stored separate. This boils down to zero tolerance of using firearms for self defence unless you can prove a credible threat level that needed a firearm to combat it. In most cases that would be a threat with a weapon. Now in this case if this had happened in NZ the use of a keyboard, a few slaps etc would not count as a credible threat deeming the use of a firearm and if a firearm had been used prosecution would be guaranteed. On the other hand if the goons had whipped out a knife and made a thrust then I suspect use of a firearm would be deemed justifiable.
Any which ways I'm just stating an opinion. Personally I cannot stand this kind of bullying, it makes my blood boil and I'd stand up to it with any means at my disposal.
