I'm all for guns, but living in jersey city and living in whitehouse nj for example is completly different. Therefore if there is going to be a bill passed that allows people to carry a gun there MUST be very strict requirments. Not everyone should be able to own a gun or carry gun. The popular saying "guns dont kill people people kill people" is true only to a certain extent. Give a crazy person a spoon and a gun which is gonna kill first? Point being the right to own and carry a gun may be our right and im 100000% for it. However, there MUST be very strict levels of requirments as well as enforcement to protect the people who dont carry. Maybe one day this week ill read the bill and if there are very strict rules then hell ill do my best to help it pass!!

Just to play devils advocate here, it has been shown that 1/2 the time more guns are available, violence increases and the other 1/2, violence decreases. So your theory is moot. Furthermore, the amount of handgun ownership has risen drastically while overall crime rate, suicide, and hand gun homicide has remained the same. Again, your theory, moot.
