Guns & No Guns

We all know guns can hurt people and they can protect people. so how do we as a nation figure out which one is better? I believe it is through listening to what others have learned and seeing both sides. It's easy to reinforce our own position. If we can change our position from the premises of no guns or guns and move our position to the conclusion, which is having a better world, then we can all communicate more productively and peacefully.
