The "problem" that gun owners point to was created in the most part by gun owners themselves. Sort of like people complaining about the price of gas and driving around in a 5MPG hummer.
How many crimes prevented because of gun ownership? Are you kidding? For the most part, any crime prevented usually ends up in bloodshed or death.
"I shot him because I thought he was trespassing... but it was really the newspaper delivery guy coming early". Most people feel incredibly safe with a gun, but rarely if ever actually use it for it's intended purpose. Most often, they appear to be used to impress your friends, make your dick seem larger, and to have around so your son can sell it for drugs later.

Just goes to show, you can "suppose" anything. You have no "real" data, just "opinion."
And Like I said, here's the best part: you COULD have exactly what you want. (You know, if you were in a FREE country.)
You can be perfectly content without a gun. I like mine.
And what's more, I have the right to have it. It's not up for "negotiation" or "discussion." You don't like it? Don't come here. Stay up there where you are under the protective umbrella of NORAD.
Don't worry, we'll still protect you, and your right to disagree with us. (You know, with weapons, we'll do that. 'Cause there are people in the world that want to kill, even you.)
