This argument will never go away.

The anti gun crowd will never admit that guns in the hands of law abiding citizens is a good thing because they "believe" banning guns altogether would help.

No, it won't, criminals will still obtain and use them to kill innocent people.

So when the Wife goes shopping, comes out to her car and Joe crack head puts a knife to her throat and demands she get in the car, do you think it might be a good thing if the 90 pound soccer Mom two cars down pulls out her pistol and stops the guy, or kills him if she has to, or would you just hope the Wife does what he says and "hopes" he does not chop her into little pieces her after he brutally rapes her?

Hello, eutopia does not exist and cannot be legislated to existence as long as humans still roam this earth.

The first two people on this earth had a son murdered by another so you can pretty much ban everything you think can be used as a weapon and people will still find creative ways to take advantage of people criminally.

Guns just even the playing field for the little guy.

Hey, if you can't trust yourself with a gun, so be it, just quit crying about the responsible people who can.
