Statistics show that america is the most armed society in the world where the majority of the population, 90 guns per 100 people is packing away guns to police themselves..or others..


Bullshit. Gun ownership in the US on an individual basis is DOWN. More importantly, individual ownership is far more prevalent in countries like South Africa.

The actual ownership is skewed towards collectors where a small fraction owns a lot of guns. And, afaik, most gun owners tend to own multiple guns.

Do you trust to live in a fully ARMED MILITARIZED SOCIETY where everyone is packing away guns?


Armed and militarized aren't even close to being the same thing. Most of the nations with high ownership rates aren't even close to being considered militarized, it's almost always personal defense because the culture is violent (again, South Africa which, in addition to its massive violence issue, tends to lead the world in rapes -- hence people have a *very* good reason to be packing)
