I just don't see the need of guns. I have little to no fear of someone attacking me or breaking into my home while I am there.
If I was there that should be enough to deter even the most aggressive of the "lazy" criminals.
I am all for the control of handguns and automatic weapons. I mean who in the public sphere really needs a fricken uzi? No one who isn't up to no good.
I have no issue with hunting rifles and the like. Great sport. Knock yourself out.
But guns that are essentially only really used to kill people what is the point... (and don't give me that crap about people hunting with a hand gun... just ridiculous).
Yes. People kill people. But why make it easier for them?

Excellent post Charlatan, you echo my thoughts exactly.
