I wonder..

Sitting at a café today..
see this big big man walking, he bends over to pick up his little child that is running around..
when he bends over you can't help but see that, yes, this man is carrying a gun.
Not too unheard of in this country.
and that is the main point of my wonder..
why do you need a gun?
fine if you feel that some arabs might come and attack you at any time.
but, how will a little revovler help you if you suddenly hear "allah akbar" from the floor underneath you..

so I wonder, have I found maybe the stupedist reason ever as to why guns are bad?
