I still think it is better to have a serious gun control. You might say you can protect yourself with gun. It is true, but you cant guard yourself 24 hours, if someone doesnt like the way you look, they can shoot you in a far distance, with knife, you might have a chance to run away before they get you. You might think it also can defend yourself for dictatorship government, I actually dont think it is enough and it is too late for this with technology at moment, government has tank , nuclear and chemical weapons, there isnt much chance to fight only with gun even with third world country now.
