I agree on the kind of comparison that is made to show the totally decentralized way in which the issue of firearms is handled.

I agree on the comparison, which comes from a very specific saying, which is:

“There is nothing better than a good man with a gun to defend against a bad man with a gun.”

That saying comes directly from the United States. I agree on the use of this comparison in connection with the theory that is applied to gun control, which, in our view, does not protect lives in the street.
