With the rising insecurity in the world and in Nigeria in particular, it is high time we are generally granted the right to own guns! You can all imagine a gang of five or six robbers going from house to house robbing for an hour with just one or two guns while the others carry just cutlasses and doors are opened for them to rob, maim and rape unhindered!
I feel that would have been curtailed if they are aware of the fact that residents will be armed to the teeth.
Let me paint a clearer picture: if everyone in Nairaland are gathered in a room, it takes just one loaded gun to unclad us.
Just look carefully at the society and you will observe that only the poor are without adequate protection.

The point i am making is this; if i have the right to life then i should have the right to defend myself and so do you.

It seems you've not come across situations where robbers occupy a street with their huge number. I've heard of robberies where residents said the robbers came as hordes of uncountable males. In my house we are four men at most; even with machine guns we can't mow down more than 4 - 7 men each. What would the other 80 or so robbers do when we run out of ammunition?
More guns don't solve any situation. Look at the US where school shootings are an every other day occurrence. Banning guns would reduce school shootings immensely, I think our country is not ready to add such problem to its many headaches.
