I agree with all of what you are saying, but unless I have missed it in your post you are forgetting the number one reason people should be able to own guns and that reason is to keep the power into the hands of the people, to prevent the government from encroaching on people's civil liberties. Putting the fear of the people into the minds of the government makes them...somehow unwilling to try to restrict liberties of the populace. I am willing to bet that was the reason the founders put the Second Amendment into the Constitution. They saw the surprise and utter frustration the British had during the Revolutionary War in trying to disarm and pacify the colonies.

Oh, trust me, I agree completely. That argument just seems to be completely ignored by gun-control advocates. It's absolutely essential that we have the ability to fight back against our government. My argument was just against the whole "ignorant paranoia" assumption and Goztow's fucked up idea that somehow there's no point to defending your home because you're not going to get the chance to.

For one of my college classes I had to do a research paper on gun control, in that I place a lot of emphasis on the psychological aspect of gun control. You're right, robbers aren't out to murder people, they aren't that kind of criminal even though if put into the wrong situation they can be, they want to steal and take things from others, it just makes sense to rob someone who would be unable to properly defend themselves. If the robber knew the said person had a firearm he would most likely want to avoid his house because coming upon a confrontation is not his prerogative, it is bad business to do so. This is just the psychological component, the physical is even more real, it is a simple fact that guns kill people, and yes...they even kill bad people who are out to do you harm.
