Very good point. I see what you were getting at better now. The so-called decency folks can take the positive step of turning off objectionable programs in their household. But the non-gun person can't control his neighbor's gun that could mistake him for a prowler or just be used in a fit of pique; can't control the armed driver behind him whose road rage overcomes his inhibition to pulling the trigger; the armed robber who can hit the store our guy is in or carjack him at gunpoint, and so on. The only choice is to move to a country with high gun control, which is not an option for most citizens. I am just expressing my concern for the people who end up in a heavily armed world they didn't choose. They shouldn't be forced to go arm themselves and then take the risks that having a firearm entails.
