Well, this will likely go in circles since I think we're both just reemphasizing the same points, but I'm really not necessarily pro guns, either. I just strongly believe that they will always be here to some extent, and I believe that there are good uses for them. Cutting down and making them very hard to get a hold of is a good thing, for sure, but I think they have their purposes. In law enforcement, despite their occassional abuse, I think they have a place. I think it's ridiculous for them to pull 20 guns on a guy after a televised high speed chase, but one or two could save lives. If every gun on the planet disappeared, maybe it would be a good thing, but I can't see that happening ever.
