India is becoming a dangerous place due religion and caste extremism. So providing licensed guns to responsible citizens and community policing may be a good step.Here are my arguments favoring relaxed gun laws. 1)Goons have guns and guns are available for purchase in any part of india if you want. 2)Any time a riot can happen on religious or communal issues and the general public is thrown pretty open for looting. 3)Police is not socially responsible in many states - It is communal and casteist and heavily prone to bribery 4)People need a mechanism to protect themself
So relaxing the gunlaws may be a viable alternative.As you said in america kids shoot each other occassionally , but there is no mass riots anywhere.. So the solution would be to keep guns not in houses but in safe storage places , acessible to senior community members for use in case of emergency like riots.A commnity that is well armed have less chances of getting attacked..
