Ok, I live in Honduras, everyone is armed around here, we have one of the highest murder rates in the world so there just might be something that ties gun ownership and murder I guess. I am not against you having a gun, but I do think you should have some sort of mental test, and of course an aptitude test to see if you can handle weapons, and most important of all the guts to use the weapon, these murderers are going to shoot are you sure you will? Or are you just going to be carrying a weapon so a criminal can steal it? You have to consider all of these things, Rambo was a movie, real life is not like that, and I highly doubt a weapon would have prevented the murder of this lady, a murderer is highly motivated and shoots as soon as he gets the chance. We have hit men here who just kill and off they go on a motorcycle you can have a machine gun to defend yourself, no use, they shoot first and you don't get to use your weapon, in fact a friend of mine was killed this morning while he was opening the gate to take out his car, a guy was waiting for him and shot him, my friend was carrying a .357 didn't get to use it.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. Absolutely as another poster said this would need to be done carefully with the right education and some sort of testing would be needed to make sure you aren't handing out guns to people who are mentally unstable.
