Let's put it in another context. How ludicrous would it seem if we set about to solve the child malnutrition problem in the us by sending food or money to gated communities?
@RSKO, it is a blanket statement about the risks of a gun and whether or not they provide safety. They don't, they only add risk. Even in your own rejoinder..the only reason that a soldiers life is at risk in the first place is the curiously large number of guns about on a battlefield. Having one himself doesn't make him any less likely to be shot or killed..it just makes it more likely that he'll shoot or kill someone.
