How do you judge the security of a nation? Does having tough stands on gun control promote security?
In the nation of Yemen ,which is fueled by tribal rivalries and hosts terrorist, The instability encourages a large percentage of the population to carry arms. Because of that, Many Americans would not feel "safe" walking the streets of Sana'a.
The tribal rivalries of Yemen have parallels in rural and urban American. Stark ethnic or gang alliances divide communities or schools. Somehow unarmed Americans still feel "safe" amid these tense rivalries. But are they? The government enforces gun control laws and in some cases buy back policies.
In New York, incentives like gift certificates to the mall encourage citizens to trade in arms. The government is positive acquiring these guns will cut back on crime. The coloration between arms and crime is blurred by society preference and seems to be all a factor of national policy.
So is America really safer because it has a smaller percent bearing arms or is Yemen actually just as or more secure?
