It could be because we see daily crimes committed by people with guns. I look at the number of murders in chicago in 2004 and can't help but sigh with relief that I don't live in Illinois anymore.
I find it very strange that the serious anti-gunners like to think that it will most likely never happen to them (being a victim of crime) yet are more than willing to accept that they will be one of the first ones shot if a civilian starts shooting a gun at a criminal. I just can't follow that logic.
