That is how you look at it.  Fine.  Others see crime in the population
(especially urban areas) as a fire.  Easy access to guns among the
population is viewed as feeding the flames of crime.  Throw more gas
in a fire and it goes up.  Throw more weapons into a population and
crime goes up.  Just look at how the murder rate among urban children 
has increased over the last few years as their access to guns has.

Look at what happens to giant successful companies who refuse to
change and adapt to a changing market.  They die.

The same thing happens to countries.  Look at all the empires that
have come and gone due to their inability to adapt to a changing 
world.

Our FOREFATHERS were brilliant men, but I am sure even they would
admit to not having a crystal ball.

Once a person, company, country thinks they are at the top and do
not need to improve, its all down hill from there because the top
can never really be reached.

You don't belive change is needed with respect to guns.  Others do.
