Should we all start carrying weapons?

The citizens of america is the largest armed group of people in the world. What if more people carried hand guns? What if those airline passengers had knives with them? What if the US government stripped us of our right to bear arms? Would anybody try hijacking a city bus knowing that one in four people might be armed?

I'm just saying What If.

What's the point? The real threats in this don't operate in a hand to hand manner of combat.

Think about all the people you know.... Now tell me that you'd be entirely happy for them all to possess a firearm.

I can think of people I know who might shoot you in a row over a parking spot, or if your dog pissed on their lawn. They're not bad people, they've just got short fuses.
