So, why do people believe that guns are ok to have then?
Deterrant.
I have yet to see scientific evidence that deterrants don't work. I think that is a ploy to remove consequences.
Have you seen evidence which says they do work? If not, why is the default "we should have guns" rather than "we shouldn't have guns"?
The Constitution of the United States

Going to have to agree with MyTie on that one point. People do have the right to own weapons. I do think people need to be held accountable for what happens with their weapons though. If some one is negligent and doesn't take the proper precautions to keep their weapons out of their kids hands and someone gets killed (outside of the context of self-defense), then I think the weapon owner should be accountable for that death. Additionally, I don't think there's a reason for people to carry concealed weapons - they're not deterrents if they're not visible, and if they are visible, then I think they'd be too intimidating to other innocent people.

From what I've read (correct me if I'm wrong, I very probably am) it was because the founding fathers didn't want the country to have a standing national army.
Correcting you, because you are wrong. The Continential Congress was in charge of the armies raised by the colonies, and appointed George Washington as their head.

Apparantly, a leading climate change research establishment was hacked. Their private emails were then made public. Self inflicted wounds are the
worst

Apparently Congress is trying to grab for more power by stripping it from the Fed
Yuck. Leave the economics to the economists, and leave the politics to the god damn politicians.

That's sick that animals have more people that feel for them than for their fellow man.
