Your continued postualtion that the world will be a safer place when everyone is armed is dangerous. People shouldn't have guns for the same reason that most (if not all) countries should not have nuclear weapons.

Something about life you should start learning will, is there is no certainty except death and taxes. Everything else is chance, just chance. To quote something from a semi-stupid segal movie, 'chance favors the prepared mind'. 75% of the population should also take huge exception to your suggestion that they shouldn't have guns because they are certain to fly off the handle and shoot wildly with abandon.

This is called 'free will', you should know all about this, considering your spirituality.

so we should mandate compliance for the entire populace to be a victim to insure that .001% of the population can't use 'self defense' claims to commit murder?

what relevance does this have for allowing someone to defend themselves at a grocery store parking lot?

Because 72 years of government stupidity still hasn't taught anyone that you CANNOT disarm criminals, EVER. The only way to keep a criminal from having a gun is to lock them away, period. Right now, this very moment, someone is prevented from defending their life because an idiot politician (supported by idiot citizens) thinks that a gun control law will stop crime.
