Add to that jealosy, greed, ambition, revenge...there's a zillion reasons why a person would kill someone, and very few of them can be justified.

My answer still stands. If John Q. Public were not allowed to have guns, it would be harder to enforce the laws. Using the prohibition of alcohol in the 20's as an example- people will keep doing what they have always done, and they will continue to buy firearms for their own private use. All a full ban would do is turn every citizen who refused to give up their weapon into a felon overnight- that alone makes law enforcement more difficult, because it increases the number of criminals astronomically by banning their posessions. Of course, most of those gun owners have no malicious intent whatsoever- they would simply feel too vulnerable without that firearm for protection. However, by keeping such a weapon under a complete and total ban, they would forfiet their freedom, possibly their life, if they ever had to use it in defense. I know that is not the reasoning behind gun control- most of the people who support it mean well, but it simply does not work.


"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine

Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.
