Well, I think using a gun to kill somebody is very different then killing someone with a knife. Giving everybody acces to guns is not the way to make the world saver. It's like saying giving every country access to nukes would make the world saver. The problem is that if the "bad guy" has a gun, "I" need one too. While you are the "bad guy" and "I" in the same instance. Preventing the "bad guy" from having a gun requires the same rules as you not owning a gun. We cannot predict when a "good" person turns "bad". The defintion of good and bad is a matter of opinion. IMO it's better to deny access to guns for everybody, then to allow it for everybody. I firmly beleive guns cause more deaths in environments where there allowed (easily available), then where there outlawed (meaning they are not easily available).
Yeah, I can see it now
A car pulls up, the windows roll down the bows and arrows come out.
But do you seriously think it makes the world a better or saver place if everybody has access to a gun?
And that's where I think the problem lies. Some Linux users don't want it to look like Windows applications.
I read an article from a Linux user stating that if you wanted an easy to use system, you should buy Windows. If you wanted a system you could thinker with you get Linux. He wrote it like the Linux community didn't want a lot of novice users migrating.
And he has a point IMO. A more experienced computer user does not want to go through a wizard everytime he want's to do something. Windows focusses on ease of use, while Linux focusses on being able to do everything with your system. How you want it. Too bad though, cause a large userbase will make developers port their software to Linux.
It's a mentality thing I think.
