Not "EVERYBODY" should have a gun...criminals should be excluded. And people who aren't willing or able to handle their weapons responsibly. Beyond that it should be a matter of personal choice.

What do you think it caused? Smoking waterpipes? 300-600.000 people died in Iraq the last 3 years, of which 70% due to internal violence. This is much more than during Saddam times.
The US has the highest gun related deaths. Do you really think distributing more guns will lower that figure?
As I mentioned before Canada has about the same gun possession, yet much lower gun related death. Something to think about.
