    Usually not. If someone has a gun and survives, that usually means they would have survived anyway. Even more surprisingly, when there are armed Secret Service agents to try to do the saving, it's sometimes an unarmed bystander who actually is successful at doing the saving.

    They can save people, they can shoot people too!

    Sometimes, if they're not being handled by an American, they can shoot the right people too

    During the GREAT WESTERN EXPANSION , before farming was able to produce enough food to feed more then the farmer himself , guns were absolutely vital for human survival. Do you think that what was true in the early 19th century holds true for today?

    Certainly -- when psychos, criminals and all manner of "neer do wells" shoot themselves
