Countries all over the world have their people killed. An armed society would not have that problem. Guns cannot be taken away from law-abiding citizens. If a man kills someone with a gun, they take the guns away. A man kills with a knife, no response. Man runs over people in a car, cars are still made. Bombs are illegal and yet bombs are still used. Taking away a law-abiding citizens guns is disarming him and making him vulnerable to the mercy of the criminal. Most criminals will not show mercy. This is like that one student in class that got everyone in trouble. Everyone else came in from recess but not Joe Blue, he beat up a kid on the playground.. So the teacher decides to ban recess because it gives bad kids the opportunity to beat someone up. Now the well behaved children looking for fun can no longer enjoy recess. Now guns is more serious because its life and death, but it boils down to the good people being punished for the criminal acts of others. "But if someone has a gun and is trying to kill you ... it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun."- Dalai
