      A rather clear instance in which carrying a gun in public proved to be a terrible idea:http://nyti.ms/1aqGUeY

      @SamHarrisOrg Carrying it? Or *firing* it? Let's be clear. Had it been that theater in Aurora, it would have been a very good idea indeed.

      @mtpollack Well, access to a weapon needlessly escalated a conflict that should have been non-lethal.

          @SamHarrisOrg @mtpollack If he didn’t have the gun it is unlikely he would have attempted to beat the man to death and been successful.

          @SamHarrisOrg @mtpollack Last point, would it have been different if he had say, a knife? Or a rock? Or a bottle? can't say for sure.

          @SamHarrisOrg @mtpollack Have you ever considered the amount of lives SAVED by guns, as opposed to just looking at the negative aspects?

          @SamHarrisOrg @mtpollack This time... But, does carrying a weapon ever STOP a lethal conflict that could have occured?

          @SamHarrisOrg It would not be hard to provide examples of the reverse, also; defensive use of firearms saves many lives, often nonviolently.

          @mtpollack @SamHarrisOrg This kind of pro gun argument keeps popping up...Sad
