The other thing is an old but very true "chestnut" that when guns are illegal only criminals will have guns. It's what is increasingly happening today in the inner city slums and colonies.
Monkeypuzzle is making the same mistake I have seen so many times: comparing us to the US!
I have yet to hear one of these people explain how most European police forces routinely carry guns, yet the problems faced in America don't seem to arise there.
Now look at Switzerland, a very peaceful country, where even the public are permitted to own firearms. How very strange! Perhaps it is something more to do with America specifically, than the right to bear arms.
