So the argument is Americans need to carry guns in order to protect themselves from criminals that carry guns?
Then couldn't Brits just carry knives to protect themselves from criminals that carry knives?

Really, the argument is pretty weak. If I mugged someone that might have a gun then I would just walk up behind them and put a gun to the back of their head and take their gun. If you put a gun in most people's face they will be too scared to do anything even if they are also packing.

If you have a gun and a wallet and someone points a gun at you and says give me all of your money. Is it really worth the risk to pull out the gun instead of just losing your wallet.

Odds are that all of the money you lose in your entire life that you could have prevented if only you had a gun at the time will be less than the price of a gun.

Ghettos are full of guns yet there is more, not less gun crime there. According to the gun nut argument the more guns you have the less likely they are to be used. Just is not true or logical.
