For the life of me, I cannot understand how
gun control or the lack thereof contributes
to a 'fairer society.' At a stretch, if every
one were packing heat, life might be fairer,
but that goes against what they expected.
It may not make for a 'fairer society', but it does make for a 'more equal society'. My wife stands 4'11" and weighs about 95 lbs. soaking wet. Even with a baseball bat she would probably be no match for a criminal who has spent the last couple years lifting weights, but with a Glock I'm pretty sure she'll be able to defend herself if I'm not there and if the criminal also happens to be armed with a gun at least I'll know that she had a fighting chance.
