The anti-gun supporter only sees the deaths of innocent victims, I on the other hand, also see the lives saved by firearms. As for removal of firearms from everyone...what else? Cutlery, vehicles, baseball bats, bricks? All regularly used as implements of death... All of historie’s greatest dictators/mass murderers began their destruction with the disarming of the populous.

How effective would the Khamer Rouge have been if the people had been armed? How effective would Hitler have been if the people hadn't been disarmed? Who knows, but lopsided power, in any form, has always been the route to tyranny, and no organizations in the history of the world have been more tyrannical and devastating to the people than governments. Believing that you are safe is not the same as being safe, and no safety is absolute. The possibility of being shot as a result of breaking and entering or robbing someone puts pause in the hearts of those would commit those actions. Nothing is more of an open invitation to the committing of crime than knowing there is a reduced probability of bodily harm. Rest assured that being the lamb will not result in inheriting the earth, rather it will make you suitable for slaughter.

I'm sure it would be every bit as effective as the war on drugs. Yes, if only we could make guns illegal there would be no more killing.
