So, where in the US do you live where concealed carry permits aren't issued? Because if it is anywhere other than Washington D.C., you have concealed carry in your state.

Australia was pretty much in an identical situation as us. Less population, but quite a few guns as well. Population density was also similar.

We introduced it into our country, and that didn't stop multiple drug cartels getting their hands on guns better than that of our army.

The number of murders has gone up, almost to the point where we get listed on one of the top 5 countries with the most murders collectively.

No, it doesn't.

No, police and law enforcement will have them, so decent law-abiding citizens will be able to use the proper channels to protect themselves.

And the evidence from gun control in other countries doesn't bear out your argument that "only mass murderers will have them"

Face it, your Second Amendment should be fixed, there is no need for it in today's society in the US, and it is time for it too be changed.

There is no real justifiable reason to take your gun everywhere, and have the potential to cause many incidents turn lethal. Especially with the complete lack of regulation in many areas, including the bill floating around in Texas attempting to authorize the ownership of firearms without any license whatsoever.

The flamebaiting was the "deluded... fantasies" part.

Given where shootings have taken place, I myself would feel more comfortable carrying a firearm with me.

This is WalMart, where a black man holding a toy rifle is gunned down without hesitation. I still say this guy is white.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.

Well, having a lack of corruption and being able to allocate government resources more efficiently would certainly make it work better too.

Maybe the murder rate has gone up, but how many of those murders have been commited with a gun? Has that rate gone up or down?

Average police response is what...? 9-12 minutes?

Be sure to call 'em if anyone ever attempts to stab you. I'm sure they'll defend you.

Though the courts have ruled that they do not have a duty to do so.

The bill in Texas would mean that the carry situation would be similar to Vermont, which doesn't issue permits at all (even for the purpose of reciprocity with other states).
Gun control is like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Any accident you can walk away from is one I can laugh at.

You do realize you do not need a license whatsoever to buy a gun in every state in the country, as long as its not a handgun, right? I can literally just walk into the gun local gun shop, write a check and walk out with an armory after only a few forms to fill out per gun.
