Actually, you do see people trying to shut down (or at least try to heavily regualte) the pharma companies. Are you that ignorant? There is a huge amount of anomosity toward these companies within the public. It will never happen though. Not a chance, because just like the gun industry, the pharma companies put their money into the hands of our lawmakers, making it impossible to change anything.
If everyone in the audience was armed, there would be triple the deaths. Imagine 100 people trying to shoot at a target they are unable see (it's dark, smokey, incredibly chaotic, and people are running in all directions). Yeah, sounds like a good idead huh? Maybe it's you who should "open up your brain neurons".
You cannot presume that events where guns prevented crime are happening just because the news doesn't cover them. There is no flow of logic there. Your theory that stations intentionally do not air these storied is ridiculous. In fact, news stations would LOVE a story like that for which they can spend 10 minutes sensationalizing. Even in the rare chance that a gun did prevent crime, what does it matter? The use of guns used FOR crime far outweighs the use of guns to PREVENT crime.
You are talking about 1100 AD, where any armed militia could combat it's national military. Weapons were equal. Times have changed drastically, and that argument is obsolete. You and your homemade militias stand no chance in today's world against your nation's military if it turned against you. Their technology is so vast and powerful, they could wipe you out with the flip of a switch if they wanted to. Face it, you are not a hero who's going to stand up against a real army. You are an ant.
I'm not listening to "main stream garbage" (it sound like something a low-information teabagger would say). I'm looking at statistics, which are listed and cited all up and down the posts of this thread.
