The best pro-gun argument I have ever read was written by a British Constable who is also a "fellow" at Cambridge.
His name is Colin Greenwood and he has compared the crime rates in England from the Victorian era with those in modern England. I don't recall the exact figures but there was something like three or four armed robberies per year during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
During this period, Great Britain had some of the most liberal gun laws in the world, even more permissive than in much of the U.S.

That pretty well describes where I live up until the late 1960's. The local sheriff didn't really care who killed who as long as you didn't bring the problems into town where all the decent folks lived.

An armed woman is a very dangerous person. One bows, kisses her hand, opens her doors, pulls out her chair, watches his language and generally does all things every woman loves.

I do believe that this article is a fine example of the author's craft, and educates as well as amuses...
