Where do you draw the line? Do you favor guns for people who've been convicted of using them in a crime? Would it be hypocritical for you to want to deny them guns? Why stop at guns? I know that land mines would be a pretty good deterrant with respect to home robberies. How can you claim to be pro-personal defense and anti-civilian land mine?
