Guns get out of the hands of the citizens and then they can't defend themselves when the criminal gets their hands on the weapon. However, let the citizens free roam with the weapons, and it'll deter the criminal from performing criminal action (unless they're actually batshit insane). Even then, the batshit insane criminal will still be cut short of causing major casualties.
Anyone else agree or wish to expand on this topic?
*I do believe that gun owners should be registered. I wouldn't want every single citizen to be carrying a weapon.

Edited by Fat Man 3000: 10/3/2013 7:51:35 AMBoth extremes of gun control are retarded. Ultimate gun control, ban all guns? In a country like America where guns are completely wide spread, legally and illegally this would just leave nothing but the criminals with the guns. No gun control, everyone gets a gun free reign? Also dumb because psychos and criminals will be able to get guns much easier. The solution? Gun control to a point, much, much better background checks and mandatory gun training so there are no accidental deaths and people know how to use their own gun. This would also help with people being able to properly handle their guns so kids can't find it and use it.
