One could say that guns are hardly ever used responsibly.

Sure, one could say that, but he'd be wrong.

You're forgetting that guns are often used in things I like to refer to as criminal acts, especially ones involving robbery. You can't rob a bank with a bag full of crack, but you sure can with an Uzi.

You're forgetting those robberies are committed to obtain money with which to buy drugs.

You're also forgetting that even legal guns can be used in criminal acts, so going by your logic, we should ban all guns since they are often used in criminal acts. While we're at it, let's ban all knives since they can be and are often used in criminal acts. Let's ban rat and bug poison from being sold to the general public since they are also often used in criminal acts. I'm surprised you're not calling for a ban on all cars since they are involved with even more crimes than guns are.

Quote:

Guns present more danger to the general public than drugs do. People kill themselves with drugs, but people kill other people with guns. There should be restrictions on both.

People mug other people in dark alleys at night in the city so they can use the money they just stole to buy drugs. They use the money they stole from the Piggly Wiggly down the street to buy a dimebag of crack. People kill other people for money to buy drugs.

Why should you hinder the responsible, law-abiding citizen's ability to defend himself from these attackers?

The one thing you fail to realize is that no matter how much we ban these "assault" weapons and how terrible we make the penalties, people will still be able to obtain them.
