I was on Facebook the other day and stumbled upon this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nAfWfF4TjM

It offers an interesting view against the possession of guns for safety, arguing that simply the possession of guns can have a more negative effect than the protection most people buy guns for.

A gun shop was opened in New York City, which was advertised especially for first time gun buyers. Each gun in the shop had a price, but also had a tag on it with the gun's history. Most of the histories were not histories where the gun protected the people, but where the gun was used against other innocent people. Many of the people who were there to buy a gun where buying one to protect themselves, but in the end they decided not to buy one because they saw the damage some of the guns could do.

The video could be biased (as in perhaps not showing the times when a gun saved one's life), but overall, the facts should be fairly accurate and present some interesting insight into the gun control debate which continues to popup around the country today.
